Well, I'm not a Drosera specialist, however, I can offer a couple of
cents. D. intermedia grows much farther north than where I am (west of
Niagara Falls, Ontario) and has no problem with winters. D traycii,
should not be a problem either, however D capensis will be killed above
the ground, and may come back from roots. I've had D capensis freeze
solid in my greenhouse (heater failure), and it came back from the roots.
I'd suggest finding a few spare capensis (not a hard thing to do if they
have set seed for you) and give it a try
