Can this plant survive in zone 9a

I just purchased this plant myself, but I live in zone 10 and it is advertised as requiring a warm climate. I would check on other websites that give you more detailed general care instructions to find your answer. Check the other sites first before ordering, but my plant from Amazon is very healthy and growing well, and the price was quite good.

According to all the plant books I have read the Hardiness Zone for Central Maryland has been listed as: 4 - 9 (-20 degrees F). Yes, you should be able to grow this plant in your area. The plant is prone to root rot if planted in too moist soil. Plant in well drained, neutral to alkaline soil, in a sunny area. Plant can withstand some foot traffic, but not much. I wouldn't make a habit of walking on it.

Well, I'm in zone 9 and it said zones 7-9 so I would say yes. Mine is a 2-3 yr old tree though and it's doing beautifully!

It is a tropical plant. So, if you live in an area that is warm all year, you should be able to plant it outside. Unfortunately, I live in zone 6. I have mine potted. It is outside for about 6-8 months and inside the house for the rest.

I don't know if it will grow in Zone 7 or not. I live in Zone 8 (north central Texas) and it is doing beautifully. I think it is certainly worth a try. If you want you can e-mail Kimberly Bell at Outsidepride and find out, she is very responsive to questions. If it were me I'd do it. You might try one pound in a test area. I believe that covers 3,000 sq ft. You will only lose $20 if it doesn't work.

This plant is so resilient that it can grow anywhere. Once it takes hold it can go dry for a while - doesn't have to be wet all the time. It does better in sun. Beware - it spreads very, very fast. I have mine in a container.

I'm in zone 5/6 and they are here. Our growing season is from the end of May to about the end of Sept. If 4 is about the same, then yes, they are viable for zone 4.

No. Since the plant is very watery it will freeze and die. If temps drop below 40F you must find a way to keep them warm by means of a green house or shelter.

Not yet, they are nice plants, very small and I live in high humidity warm area so I would think any area if you have a green house

I live in middle TN & our weather is similar. Put in a large pot , leave it on a porch out of direct light in the summer, and bring it in when the temp starts getting cold (about 45F). It should be okay. I had surgery & wasn't able to bring mine in this winter & it died-my fault. I will get another one in the spring. Also, they are not very big plants. Be sure to google search for the right amount of different soil: high grade potting soil, mulch & I think at least one other. You can buy these at any place that specializes with plants. Just mix them up & plant- DO NOT OVER WATER. Good Luck!

I am going to guess no . its most likely been growing outdoors and ship to you . I am in zone 5 borderline for 6 .if you grew it from seed then you must harden it off . I bought my last fall its just getting leaves now in my garden .its a late spring . enjoy your plant !

Yes but you must be in or close to zone 8. Otherwise, to be on the safe side, bring them in, in the winter and store them in your basement. I have seen them survive in cooler temps. They need a cooling period of about two months. Most people keep them in Pots above zone 8 - Here is a link to everything about pitcher plants. http://thepitcherplantproject.com/blog/tag/flava/

I have planted mine in a pot and keep it indoors. I would assume as long as you keep it moist and away from direct harsh sunlight that it would be fine.

I'm in Northern Michigan where it is sub zero temps so I purchased it to be a year round indoor plant. I haven't transplanted it.

According to the website "Dave's Garden", it is hardy from Zones 8a to 11. I live in Naples, FL and I planted it in June of 2013 and it is doing fine. It's not the fastest grower in my garden, but, I'll just be patient. Hope this helps. Chuck Bainbridge

I live in California, zone 9 and have it planted outside through the winter. The first year it lost all its leaves after the frost and I was worried it had died. I also had to replant it due to problems with the soil. This is it's second winter and it held up very well. No fruit yet, I am not expecting any for a couple of years. I have it positioned where it has some protection from cold winds. I previously had it planted out in the open, so this may have made a difference.
