Sarracenia Northwest sells what they refer to as "cold hardy" CPs.

Thanks. I'll check it out.

Right now, assuming I don't get a bite here, i'm leaning towards a sampler pack from PFT that includes a Judith Hindle that I can make work if I move it to the garage in the winter.

I'm in Milwaukee, Wisconsin which is Usda Zone 5B, so we're probably similar in climate.
Drosera rotundifolia, intermedia, linearis and Sarracenia purpurea are native to this area.

I grow them outdoors from early Spring until they go dormant in late Fall.
Then they move into the basement under lights with the Tropical and Subtropical stuff.
They stay dormant until next Spring.

Sorry, no extra plants here, only seed.

Good growing,
Mike

How are your linearis doing? My last remaining plant is finally just starting to send up its first leaf of the year.

The hibernacula are opening and sending up first leaves.

Thanks, good to know I'm on schedule.

Lowes tends to have sarrasenia purpurea. If you dont have any luck there I have some purpurea seedlings I could send you and I have plenty of rotundifolia if you are interested.

S. purpurea ssp. purpurea is your best bet. The other Sarracenia species will require heavy care to survive winters in zone 5.

When does Lowe's get the purpurea? I've only seen the bug bitting kits. Would love to get one.

If they have them they will be the same location as the bugbiting plants. I have seen them carry flytraps D. Adelae nepenthes and purpurea. It seems as though they dont get shipments often. I pop in every once in a while to see what they are carrying

I have purchased purpurea twice from them. Once was a large plant that flowered after 6 months for 10$ the second was a smaller division that was 5$
