Sarracenia Holiday Collection in Zone 7 Window Boxes: Feasibility and Spacing

Kim (Zone 7) considered the Holiday Collection for outdoor window boxes. Asked about viability and spacing.

Conditions for Success

Window boxes work if: (1) plants stay very wet in summer—use boxes as water troughs (leave in pots) or water frequently; (2) ≥½ day direct sun (like tomatoes); north-facing fails. Winter: wrap boxes during severe cold (Zone 7 + elevated = more freeze risk) or move to shelter. Spacing isn't specified but allow room for mature rhizome spread.
