The flowers are redish-purple with darker spots. A rare and vivid colour. It features 2-3 inch long, pendulous flowers on long spikes in late Spring and Summer.
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.
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.
