They have to - it's how they make seeds.

Cephalotus (Australian Pitcher): http://www.aqph26.dsl.pipex.com/cephalotusfollie.html
(I don't know how old they have to be)

Sarracenia (American Pitcher): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarracenia ... _and_seeds
(at 4-5 years old)

Nepenthes (Asian/Tropical Pitcher): http://images.google.com/images?hl=en&s ... CCUQsAQwBA
(typically only after they produce "upper" pitchers, time varies)
