Planting Zone 7 Sarracenia Rhizomes in Zone 5: Frost Protection

A Zone 5a grower (last frost May 15) receiving Zone 7a Sarracenia rhizomes (some with new growth) asked if planting now in a 7-gal insulated pot is okay, or wait.

Jacob Farin: if divisions show new pitchers, protect from late frost. Severe frost damages new growth on fresh divisions. Large pot insulates; bury crowns deep. Cold frame adds protection. Look for new growth when days consistently >55°F.
