Well the first thing to find out is what are your temp ranges, but usually the heat resistant plants are the ones found in Florida like S. Flava, S. Leucophylla, and the southernmost Sarracenia, S. Minor

You can grow all sarracenia species and hybrids. All do well in heat if the are kept watered.

I'm in zone 9b so the temps in the Spring/Summer are 60-70F at night and 70-100F during the day, with the occasional 100+ degree day.
