Sarracenia Companions for Darlingtonia Bog: Tall Species for Shade

Zone 7 NC grower: wants tall Sarracenia to shade Darlingtonia in full-sun bog with drip irrigation.

Recommendation

Any tall Sarracenia species/hybrid works – S. leucophylla, S. flava, S. alata, hybrids like 'Judith Hindle', 'Scarlet Belle'.
Soil mix slightly modified for both – possible with proper winter care.

Nursery reducing lava rock in Darlingtonia mix – may be ineffective. Increase pumice/perlite instead.
