Hi James,

It depends. All temperate plants need dormancy and the other
season too. You can push smaller Sarracenia w/o full dormancy
for a couple years but if they stop growing, they are asking for
it, so give it to them. Some plants will slow down in the middle
of summer since it's often dry that time of year so don't worry
about it then.
