D. spatulata- Depends on the verity of the plant

Drosera capensis- doesn't need a dormant period but it can it given but not recommended

Drosera binata- does go dormant depending on what verity when given shorter photo period coupled with slightly reduced temperature where it will form a hibernacula.

Cape - no dormancy
"Fork leaf" - there are both temperate and tropical varieties, you'll have to ask about specific species
"Spoon leaf" - again, there are both temperate and tropical varieties, you'll have to ask about specific species

The Spoon leaf came labeled a "Frasier island form" but i believe that that is a spathulata...
The fork leaf is a drosera binata...

Oh! Also a lance lead sundew....

Thanks for the dormancy skinny on these little guys. Thanks!

Spatulata is no dormancy, lance leaf (drosera adelae) is also no dormancy.

All forms of drosera binata however do need a dormancy.
