Sarracenia rubra (Sweet Pitcher) Winter Care in Zone 6/7

Dormancy Signs

If temps have hit 20°F, the plant is dormant even if leaves persist. S. rubra complex often holds leaves deep into winter.

Action Plan

• Move to garage now—below 20°F requires extra protection.
• Cut all leaves by end of December to reduce transpiration and improve next season's appearance.
• Spray with sulfur-based fungicide as mold preventative.

Good Growing!
