Drosera scorpioides, commonly called the shaggy sundew, is a pygmy sundew native to the Jarrah Forest region and southern coasts of Southwest Australia. Notable for its unusually large size relative to other pygmy sundews, D. scorpioides can produce rosettes measuring up to two inches in diameter and specimens may attain a height of up to 100 millimeters (approximately 3.9 inches). The species is found on white sand and clay, near swamps, on sand ridges, and is associated with laterite. The flowers are pink and white, appearing sometime between August and October.^[1] Depending on the form, D. scorpioides can be expected to live up to seven years.^[

This species can typically be found in areas with abundant year-round moisture such as swamps, creeks, lakes and forests.

Unusual among sundews, these plants have to be able to cope with the Australian dry season, so they have developed extensive roots so that they can obtain water when it becomes scarce. They also have to compensate for the poor quality of the soil they live in, which is the main theory why they evolved to catch insects.

Important: Plants Shipped potted in their propagation cell, carefully cut cell and plant the peat plug in a 4” pot with as little disruption to the roots as possible. Pygmy Sundews dislike root disturbances.
