Great Sundew is an insectivorous, rosette-forming perennial herb growing in the wetter parts of raised and blanket bogs (often in standing water), in flushed valley bogs, on stony lake shores and, more rarely, in calcareous mires (F. J. Rumsey in Preston et al 2002).
In Norfolk, Great Sundew seems to have been steadily disappearing. It has never been particularly common; Nicholson (2014) listed 29 locations; Petch & Swann (1968) listed 16 hectads whereas Beckett et al (1999) listed just the five sites below and it has only been recorded at two of these since 2000, though it may still turn up at Scarning Fen or Roydon Common.
