My experience with growing cobra lillies was that they aren't as
sensitive as I was lead to believe. I lived in Clarkston Washington USDA
zone 6 and during the summer left them in a plastic tray with the water
level approximately 2"deep. Summer temperatures ranged from low 80's to
mid 90'sF on a regular basis. Pitchers were approximately 12-15tall. I
never had the so called crash I've heard about (and believe could
happen). Unfortunately in my move to Klamath Falls Oregon my
Darlingtonia developed grey mold and rotted due to our extremely variable
temperatures here. Any trouble to grow this one is worth it, the plants
are spectacular. Kirk
Klamath Falls Oregon where it can frost in June...
