Unleash the dragon in your carnivorous plant collection with Drosera binata ‘Marston Dragon’! This stunning hybrid sundew, created by renowned grower Adrian Slack, is a vigorous cross between Drosera binata var. dichotoma ‘Giant’ and var. multifida extrema.

As it matures, the upright leaves can reach 12-16 inches or more, branching multiple times into antler-like structures tipped with crimson tentacles. In bright light, the foliage turns a deep red, enhancing its fierce, mythical appearance while maximizing its insect-trapping prowess. Perfect for naturally controlling gnats, fruit flies, and other small pests!
