I hear pitcher plants do better wintering outdoors, but those only have the tiniest of new pitchers promising to grow soon. Meanwhile, I took a bit off of one of them to enjoy inside during their dormancy (Judith Hindle cultivar), and the new leaves she's grown are shooting up quickly. The one bland leaf she managed to grow during the winter is now showing colors that rival those in fall. I think I'll try an indoor semi-dormancy next year, at least on a few.

@tippitiwichet more by accident that design I left Judith Hindle and a purpurea cross outside in the fall until they went dormant, then brought them inside - they immediately started growing again and are now bigger and healthier than I could have expected. I think I'll do something like this on purpose from now on.

@3DBill Hmm, that sounds promising. Still gives them a little rest.
