So, this my first season growing tropical sundews, specifically capes and binata Marston Dragon. My bogs stay out year round and my potted temperates go into an unheated garage with no special lighting. Will the capes and binata do okay overwintering like that or do I need to find some room under lights. I will likely have some seedlings going under lights but inside space is at a premium.

I left my capes outside last year. Temperatures would fluctuate and at some point we had a light frost. They died back, but they came back during the spring. As long as the roots don't rot, I believe they'll survive
