Hi and Welcome! to NGA

You can grow most Sarracenia and some Drosera outside year 'round in your area. Not Fly Traps.

They require full sun in the summer but in winter, they are dormant. I cover mine with burlap in winter to protect them from freeze/thaw cycles. A lot of people cover them with pine needles. Whatever you cover them with, don't pack it down. And make sure the roots are always in water.
Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and proclaiming...."WOW What a Ride!!" -Mark Frost
