I would like to know from the Flytrap Forum community what sundews are best for Southern Alabama. I had a few weeks ago placed my several dozen tropical sundews outside for spring and then a surprise frost came last weekend and they all died, or at least seemingly died. I will wait a few months to see if anything still grows and in the mean time, I wish to supplement my carnivorous collection with sundews that I can keep outdoors all year long. I know that I can simply look up temperate sundews and sundews that grow near southern Alabama to see what might do best in my climate, but I would also like the opinion of an experienced community. The temperature here can go up into the 80's and perhaps 90's in the summer and get below freezing for almost a week straight in winter. I will be keeping them in a foot deep and wide plastic container in sphagnum moss.
Ave Maria, gratia plena, confortare totam plantarum mearum
