Although some people are put off by their size, their beauty lie in numbers. Because of the gemmae, the plants quickly cover the growing area, forming dense mats.
Another startling feature of the Pygmy Sundews are their size. Normally the plants grow to a maximum diameter of half an inch. The rosettes are about 1.5 cm across and golden-green in color, more red under bright light.
Each leaf consists of a thin petiole and a round, red lamina measuring up to 2 mm in diameter. Leaves in a convex rosette. The rossettes are about 1.5 - 2 cm. It flowers early Spring to mid Summer.
