A southern Massachusetts grower's S. leucophylla produced only phyllodia in summer heat (80-90°F), now starting fall pitchers as temps drop to 50°F. Worried cold will stop pitcher production.
Plants produce pitchers until first overnight frost. Northeast's shorter season (frost late Sept/early Oct) vs. Southeast (sometimes Dec) is a geographic trade-off. Our Oregon nursery faces the same: some years long fall display, others just a week.
Enjoy the pitchers while they last. Prep for dormancy by early November. Watch monthly podcasts for tips: CobraPlant.com/DVD
