Hey, Forumites! Check out page 18 of your new Swimmer Magazine for a spread on fellow Forumite, Fly Trap (Matt Miller)!!! Kudos to Elaine K. Howley for writing the terrific article, and cheers to Fly Trap! :applaud: :cheerleader:
Do they survive frost in the winter and high temps in the summer (like coastal SE US)?
Yes! That's where they're native to! They are natively found in ~100 mile radius of Wilmington, NC. We grow ours outside most of the winter here in Oregon. When it's going to freeze, we move them into the lightly heated greenhouses at night. And if there is frost, we either cover them or move them in, though sometimes we don't. Otherwise, they're outside most of the year.
I have grown them outside year round too, in sufficiently large pots. They can stand being frozen but prefer that the soil doesn't freeze solid, though they can survive even that.
