When to Remove Early Flower Buds on Newly Divided Sarracenia Rhizomes

Jonathan's recently divided Sarracenia rhizomes (Southern California) are forming flower buds early during weird warm/cold swings. Should he cut them?

Yes, Clip Early Buds

• Plants need to maintain dormancy until full spring daylength.
• Clip buds when 1–2″ tall—clipping too early may trigger a second bud.
• Let them grow a few days first, then snip.

Early bud formation is common; removing them conserves energy for root establishment and spring pitcher production.
