I was just wondering if any sarracenia species or hybrids(especially ones that I could from the seed bank) could survive in NJ

I believe there's a pack of S. purpurea in the Seed Bank inventory.
Those grow naturally in New Jersey, I believe.
I think that's the only species of Sarracenia found outside of the Southeastern USA.
But hey, what do I know?
I'm a Drosera guy.
This is just my 02¢ worth.

Yeah purps are likely the only ones originally from that part of the country, although I see there are some isolated reports of flava growing further up the coast.

That said, there are plenty of people in northern climates who grow the other Sarr species. Might have to protect them better during the winter, depending on what your outdoor space looks like.

Aside from Purpurea, oreophila and jonesii could probably survive, especially if you live in zone 7 but good luck finding those last two.

I live in Eastern Washington state (zone 6b) and grow all kinds of sarrs from purps and roseas to minor okee giants and leucos. They do need protection in winter which can be achieved by insulating them with pine needles or bringing them into a cold, dark basement in the winter. I believe purp does grow naturally in NJ, so you can grow that one outside year-round with no protection.

I found this interactive map that shows where different sarracenia species grow naturally.
