A forecast of 16°F after plants have broken dormancy is dangerous. New growth and flower stalks will be damaged; rhizomes may survive. Covering helps, but teens are too cold for tender tissue. Best: move potted plants indoors for the night. If impossible, prioritize: bring in S. leucophylla, S. minor, S. psittacina, flytraps, and subtropical sundews. Leave hardy S. flava, S. oreophila, S. rubra, and northern sundews outside under heavy cover.
Damaged foliage can be trimmed; plants usually recover by June. A freak May freeze years ago nipped S. flava pitchers, but they rebounded fully.
