Drosera intermedia grows in acidic bogs in parts of valleys that are flooded in winter, and that often dry out in summer. It is also described as the sundew of the most heavily hydrated habitats in peatlands, and it is often found in water and even underwater. This sundew is the only one that can tolerate long periods of submersion, and more importantly produces a typical submerged form that can live in such conditions for many years.

The aim of this study was to determine the environmental conditions, individual architectures, and photosynthetic efficiencies of three sundew species: , , and , found in well-preserved peatlands and sandy lake shores in NW Poland. Morphological traits and chlorophyll fluorescence (Fv/Fm) were measured in 581 individuals of . occupies the best-lit and warmest habitats, and also those that are the most heavily hydrated and the richest in organic matter; its rosettes are larger under conditions of higher pH, less organic matter, and less well-lit habitats.
