Cold hardy sarracenias

[Hortman]

I am starting a collection of pitchers and am also installing a planing in an already exisiting bog in coastal Maine - USDA Zone 5B. Can anyone tell me which sarracenias would be hardy in our area?

Thanks!

S. purpurea ssp purpurea and S. purpurea 'heterophylla'
you could probibly also do S. flava, S. prupurea ssp. venosa Other then that I will let the NECPS guys answer

S. flava will never make it there for the cold. Special handling would be in order. Mulching the bog and all that.

Oh well I was jsut thinkgi flava virgina you know... Well ignore that. Have fun with purps. They're neat little buggers

Also maybe rubra ssp. jonesii.

Here in Connecticut I grow a S x 'Dixie Lace' on my balcony year round... We had drops below zero and it survived quite nicely.

hybrids with purpurea ssp. purpurea might work
