I just ordered one and was reading up on it, apparently they dont go dormant. Is there a way I can keep mine outside year-round like using mulch or something? Or will I have to bring it in for the winter?

Also, Im getting a tracyii and filiformis, can these grow together or will tracyii need to be brought inside for winter?

as far as the dichotoma goes it should come back from the roots if you leave it out for the winter. what i did on my 1st winter was i cut the leaves off the day before frost and took them inside to grow for the winter. they would have been mush the next morning anyway.(it was the last CP to wake up had me worried)

tracyi is cold hardy but it will be the last sundew to go to sleep so protect it from a early frost if its not ready for it.

It really depends on where you are located. If you are in Florida you should be pretty safe but if you are in North Dakota you may want to reassess your options.

What city in California? The climate at Lake Tahoe is very different from the climate at San Diego.

5 cities area

You can keep them outside all year long. I grow them outside in Seattle and have never lost one.
