A very beautiful, very interesting looking plant. Frilly, double, midnight-purple fluted horns or trumpet flowers, with white interiors burst open in profusion throughout the Summer.
Requires consistently moist soil; do not let dry out between waterings. Water must be distilled or rain water because they do not tolerate city or hard water.
This species differs visually from the more Northern variety by being slightly larger and the glands on the tip of the tentacles are greenish. The Southern Dewthread produces fertile pink flowers in April.
