Late Dormancy Start for Sarracenia in California: Not Critical

Dave in Berkeley has Sarracenia growing strong in February, asks if too late for dormancy. Jeff Dallas: "I wouldn't worry about it now. Sarracenia won't die (unlike Venus flytraps) from lack of dormancy. They tend to have internal clocks that make them stop growing for a month or two, even if they are not cold." Photoperiod triggers dormancy. Moving outside now risks frost kill without cold adaptation. If no freezing weather expected, outdoor placement okay.

Good Growing!
