I feel most Sarracenia have about the same hardiness. The temps
you quoted would be just fine for almost all Sarracenia, but I would
not keep seedlings outside in winter. They would have to go into a
deep pot with a recessed soil level to protect them from drying wind or
some sort of cold frame. They will still like bright light through
winter, BTW.
