Capensis outside in the UK

In case anyone wonders, yes d. capensis can survive outside in a bog in the UK.  I'm in the East Midlands, and here's proof positive - 3 Cape Sundews coming back to life in a large planter that froze over during the winter.

Similar to Trev I have had Capensis and Binata outside in bogs for years it dies back to its roots but so far has never failed to come back, even from a -18C some years ago, admittedly they were covered with some fern fronds as were the VFTs and they too came back, if a little late in the season.

Cheers
