Hi Richard,
The only tuberous species I have grown are D. peltata and D. auriculata.
These crossed. A problem with the rosetted tubers is that the seed takes
to long to sprout and the plants take years to reach maturity. Although I
may be the Guru of sundew hybridization, I am still as yet merely a
mortal being. I will leave the tubers to someone else. I agree that some
interesting results might be had. I suggest crossing the easier growing
D. peltata with a rosetted tuber. Good luck, and let us all know what
happens.
