Drosera uniflora

A tiny rosette sundew of the cold, wet bogs and moorlands of southern Chile, Patagonian Argentina, Tierra del Fuego and the Falkland Islands, bearing a single white flower on a short stalk. It is a cool-temperate plant that likes its roots in water and is rarely grown because it resents heat. Grow it like a cool bog plant with a cold winter rest.

Where it grows wild

It grows in nutrient-poor peat bogs, cushion bogs and wet moorland, often among sphagnum and low cushion plants, with its roots in water. It prefers open, sunny ground.

From sea level in the far south to mountain bogs further north. Only 11 GBIF records carry an elevation (0–1000 m, median 660 m); the literature mentions coastal-mountain sites at 500–2000 m in Chile.
