Drosera spatulata the spoon-leaved sundew is a rosette-forming sundew with spoon-shaped leaves. This sundew is common throughout Asia, from southern Japan, through to Australia and New Zealand. Variants are often known by the localities in which they are found. The plant does not form hibernacula in winter, and is easily grown using the same methods as Drosera capensis.
Carnivorous plant growers consider Drosera spatulata to be a weed because it is very hardy and produces large amounts of seed when it flowers. The seeds also germinate without much difficulty, causing little plants to pop up in surrounding pots.
