winter care for North American Pitcher Plant


Question
I live in Eugene, Oregon.  I understand I should keep my North American Pitcher Plant outdoors year around, but as you know we lack sunshine for days and days at a time.  How will this effect the plants?

Answer
Hi Joann,

Our nursery is located in Eagle Creek, 35 southeast of Portland.  We grow all of our Sarracenia and flytraps exclusively outdoors.

In winter, these plants go dormant.  While dormant, they don't grow, so sunlight is not an issue.  You can see photos of our nursery in our photo gallery:

You can also read up on winter care instructions in any of the care sheets online:

Good growing!
