Dear Kevin,

I find D anglica an easy subject in a temperate climate if given a hard time
in winter. Last year we had a warm spell very early, and my D rotundifolias
and D intermedias started putting leaves out whereas my D anglicas stayed
dormant - I even feared I might have lost them. Suddenly we had a fortnight
of hard frosts - the D rotundifolias and D intermedias were almost wiped
out, but about a month later a profusion of D anglicas became apparent.

Seed is a good way to propagate D anglica, but requires patience. It is not
uncommon for seed of hardy Droseras to take more than one winter before
germination.

Good growing, NigelH
