Yup! Following the growing season, (generally speaking) they require a lower photoperiod, almost total dryness, and lower temps. Many will develop small, stubby, non-carnivorous leaves. P. agnata is one that won't.

Mexican Pinguicula change leaf forms, they do not have a dormancy. Triggers for leaf form changes vary among the different species.
