Pinguicula vulgaris grows in the upper peninsula of Michigan (and even
farther north), so don't worry at all about keeping it too cold!
These plants may experience 6 months of freezing temperature!
I'm surprised to hear this species grows in Morocco! This plant does
not get much farther south than the upper peninsula in Michigan, nor
very far south in New England. I would have guessed the southern range
limit was due to temperature constraints. I know little of Morocco's
climate, but I assume it is quite warm!
