Well, if it is similar to a New Jersey winter, you can kiss
those plants good-bye. I have tried year after year to get
D.capensis and D. binata to establish in my bogs and they never
came back with the spring.
Interesting plants that did, however: P. pumila, D.burmanii
(it might be sessifolia, I have to see the flowers). D. peltata
did manage to survive one winter, only to rot in dormancy after
flowering.
Of course, the first two survive as seed through winter, but
I was very suprised when the peltata came back and flowered.
