Yes.
You sure can grow them in the same conditions as Sarracenia, perhaps
a bit wetter even. The problem with this, though, is that while an
individual cranberry stem is quite small, they spread quickly and form
thick mats of several inches making cultivation of Sarracenia difficult
at best. Every now and then a cranberry pops up in one of my bogs, but
even after several feet of growth, they aren't ready to set seed.
