What is a Sundew?

A Sundew (Drosera) comprises one of the largest genera of carnivorous plants.  These members of the Sundew family lure, capture, and digest insects using stalked mucilaginous glands covering their leaf surface.  The insects are used to supplement the poor mineral nutrition of the soil in which they grow.  Various species, which vary greatly in size and form, can be found growing on every continent except Antarctica.

As a teenager, Sundew C.E.O. Mr. David Priddy had a fascination with carnivorous plants and collected an extensive range of Drosera, Pitcher Plants and Venus Fly Traps as a hobby in a Brisbane hot house.

The affinity of Drosera (Sundew) and their innovative way of supplementing their nutritional intake by adapting to digesting insects led to the name we all know today as Sundew Solutions.

Brief History of Sundew Solutions

Sundew Solutions is a leading research and development company in Australia which was established in February 2009.

This impressive scorecard of innovative product development sets Sundew Solutions as an unrivalled world-class leader in delivering solutions for today’s modern pest management professional.
