Folks, S flava doesn't grow in Canada!!! It's natural range goes only as
far north as southern Virginia. Even there, its not easy to find, only 4
or sites are left there. I think what people are trying to say is that
S. flava will grow in Canada if planted outdoors!. I live in Southern
Ontario (near Niagara Falls), and have grown many Sarracenia outdoors for
many years now with no problems. To give you an idea of how cold it can
get, our normal day temps for Feb 2 is -0.5C with lows of -7.6C, however,
tonite our low will dip to -25C. We have cold snaps like this at least
once every winter.
To date, I've grown flava, rubra, minor and southern purps without loss!
Carl.
