lorisarvendu Posted June 16, 2015 Report Share Posted June 16, 2015 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.

Simon B Posted June 16, 2015 Report Share Posted June 16, 2015 that's good to know !! I've just put some stray ones that ended up in my vft pots into my bog planter. didn't think they would survive the winter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lorisarvendu Posted June 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2015 Yes, and they've managed to push their way through the peat moss carpet too. I'm really pleased about this because sundews are by far my favourite CP. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trev Posted June 19, 2015 Report Share Posted June 19, 2015 I've had some Capensis and Binata growing outside in a bog garden for 10 years, both have survived being frozen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billynomates666 Posted June 19, 2015 Report Share Posted June 19, 2015 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.
