Yes, Phil those plants can handle some very cold weather. Staghorn
sundew is D.binata. That one can NOT take anything more than a
very light frost and even that will knock all it's leaves off.
This one should be treated more like a tropical even though it
truely is temperate, it just doesn't grow were freezing temps occur.
