I am starting to look into possibly getting more sundews but I need to know what ones can survive outdoors in zone 7a. Thanks

After doing a bit of research, it seem like these four are the most common cold temperate drosera. Drosera rotundifolia Drosera intermedia Drosera anglica Drosera linearis

7a is probably too warm for D. linearis.
D. filiformis is the easiest plant to start with in zone 7a. D. intermedia would be next, followed by D. anglica and D. rotundifolia. D. x californica will work too. If you were to protect the plants really well in the winter you can grow most of the southern species like D. cappilaris and D. brevifolia. D. tracyi just seems to die with a good hard freeze so I would bother with them.
I've over wintered D. binata complex and D. capensis in zone 6b before but you need to do some serious protection.

Thanks for the response:) I'll definitely give some of them a try in the near future:)

Is this for you?
You are in Zone 5a.

Really? I checked early and it said it was 7a for me. Must have been an old unupdated one.

Is there a way to edit my thread to change the name?

What's the difference between 5a and 5b? Or any number a or b? Thanks
