Water Preferences for Sarracenia in Bog Gardens: All Like Wet Feet

Question

I am considering doing bogs like the ones this person does https://icps.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=outdoor&action=print&thread=1174 What sarracenia species like the most water and wat sarracenia dont prefere being as wet as other sarracenias.

Answer

All Sarracenias like to have their roots close to the water level. In pots they will all prefer up to half the pot depth in water. If you create an artificial bog you can place all the Sarracenias in the lowest areas of the bog. Some Sarracenia species, like S. psittacinia, actually can be submerged part of the year.
