Using Frost Blankets for Sarracenia Winter Protection in Zone 5

Frost blankets add extra protection but are not sufficient alone in Zone 5. You must still mulch heavily.

Layered Approach

• Primary insulation: 8+ inches of mulch (bark, pine needles, straw) over pots and plants.
• Secondary: Frost blanket over mulch for additional temperature buffering.
• Limitation: Blankets have a lower temperature rating (may not protect below 0°F / -18°C).
