I second the motion when it comes to heat tolerance! I have a few
Sarracenia species I've grown with true year around success in the
Florida heat. Sarracenia rubra and S.minor will grow well. My
S.leucophylla and S.flava grow beautifully, but I rarely get any
flowers. The most tolerant all-round Sarracenia I have is the hybrid S.
x formosa (S.minor x S.psittacina). I don't know about it's cold
tolerance levels, but it will grow as an emergent aquatic for months at
a time and isn't picky about the kind water as much as most Sarr..
Now I want heat tolerant Darlingtonia, Nepenthes villosa, N. rajah,...
If you all could work on that I would like it very much!!
Take care,
