D. rotundifolia 'Charles Darwin' (evergrow)

[sundewman]

Does anyone know where I can find/purchase seed for this variety of rotundifolia. I know it is a recent cultivar. Thanks for your help.

Unfortunately, I do not have seeds, (yet) but I do have a question. What is the difference between D. rotundifolia var. "Charles Darwin" (evergrow) and Drosera rotundifolia x capillaris "Pasco Giant"? (aka d. x Evergrow) Are they the same plant, or is there a cultivar drosera that shares the same name?

California Carnivores sells the plant, but I don't know about seed.

The ICPS seedbank usually has D. 'Charles Darwin' seeds. If you are a member check with John.

Drosera rotundifolia 'Charles Darwin' is a cultivar bred by Ivan Snyder. He crossed two forms of D. rotundifolia from California and came up with a plant the doesn't require dormancy. It was previously distributed as D. rotundifolia "Evergrow" but published as D. rotundifolia 'Charles Darwin'. If you have "Evergrow" in your collection you should re-label it 'Charles Darwin'.

Drosera capillaris "Pasco Giant" x rotundifolia "Evergrow"/'Charles Darwin' is a hybrid of two different species of particular forms.
