Probably, but I think that I may have lost my Pinguicula grandiflora
from frost, and that is slightly hardier than any Venus fly-trap I
have heard of. And it wasn't even a hard winter - nothing below -8
Celsius :-(

My Ping has survived two winters outdoors now. Including the nasty
cold snap we had in early Feb, which affected much of South East
England. It is just sending ut it's first leaves now, and when I
looked at it a couple of days ago seemed to have caught it's first
flies already. )

P. grandflora or P. vulgaris? The latter is hardy anywhere in the UK
(and I do mean ANYWHERE)! Also, if you are in London, you could have
quite a lot milder winters than here.
