Folks,

Does Drosera capensis require dormancy, or can it go dormant?

I am growing several specimens outdoors (I live in Southern California on
the coastline), and winter is approaching. During the winter temperatures
normally hang around 65-75F during the day, and can drop to 40-50F during
the night. It can freeze but rarely does. Should I bring these in during
the winter, or leave them out? I am planning on leaving my S. purpurea and
Dionea outdoors.
