D. filiformis tracyi can't handle the same cold that D. filiformis
filiformis can. The latter variation is very hardy (which means it can
handle very cold winters). D. filiformis tracyi is not hardy, though it is
very robust, and I doubt mulching would help. I plan on storing mine in the
fridge this winter. I think you could grow D. filiformis filiformis as far
north as you want without much concern, in an inground bog.
