Garden Plants - Full Sun

The following cold-hardy plants will grow well for you:

Venus Flytrap
Sarracenia
Drosera filiformis

During the growing season, these plants thrive in full sun, 6 or more hours of unobstructed sunlight. Some Sarracenia may need 10+ hours of sunlight to maintain their rich, deep colors. They will also take the summer heat. You'll be surprised how resilient they are!

Because of their special soil requirements, you should grow them in containers. Peat moss and perlite is all you'll need. They also requirel low-mineral water. Excess minerals will damage their roots.

Because cold-hardy carnivorous plants are native to the United States, they will go dormant in winter, so keep them outdoors, even in chilly, frosty weather. When grown in containers, these plants are hardy down to 20°F unprotected. Mulch or other forms of winter protection is necessary in zones 6 and colder.
