Does anyone know where to get tall-growing sundews? I'm not familiar with too many of them, but I'm lookign for something like drosera pelata,stolonifera,auriculata,cistiflora etc.

I don't know that much about sundews, but I know Drosera Regia grows very tall.

Most of those on your list are tuberous. You might try to get in on a group order from Allen Lowrie, or you'll have to keep your eye out for them to be offered through California Carnivores or somewhere similar. Sometimes private growers will have them.

Drosera California. Tall and easy... not to mention vigorous. Post a feeler here and on Terraforums.

Thanks guys! I have filiformis and regia already. I guess I'm looking for tuberous sundews, but wasn't sure if all the ones I listed (or ones similar to that appearance) were tuberous.

@natch, who is allen lowrie? Would it be an international sale? (I'm assuming yes from 'group order')

It would be an international sale. He's a well known carnivorous plant discoverer/grower in Australia. Not sure how many Australian 'dews he's discovered, but I believe it's well over half.

If you're interested in growing tuberous sundews, you might check out - http://www.tuberous-drosera.net/

I accidentally have a few, and I'm relying heavily on that page for cultivation requirements.
