Well, ive grown my S. cobra nest for 2 years now and I always let it go dormant. Unlike some other Sarracenia though, it doesnt drop its pitchers in winter, it keeps them throughout the winter and only loses a couple of them by the beginning of spring. Because it doesnt lose its pitchers i guess you can say that it looks like its growing all year long. Than again, i live in zone 9, the coldest it gets here is around 30 degrees fahrenheit in the winter, probably a little colder. The soil does freeze, but it doesnt snow here, so I dont know how it reacts in a colder climate.

I don't get it? I thought if you are experienced, you'd know what it is? Lol maybe? Though, I can't identify most CPs. But, at least I know what category it's in!

I thought the least you know, it means you're farther away from being an experienced grower..
