Uncovering Sarracenia in Ellensburg, WA: Forecast-Based Decision

A grower in Ellensburg, WA asks if 10-day forecast staying above 20°F means it’s safe to uncover S. leucophylla ‘Tarnok’, S. ‘Daina’s Delight’, S. alata × oreophila, and D. intermedia seeds.

Uncover Now; Monitor and Re-cover If Needed

Forecast supports uncovering. Water well if dry/windy. Be ready to re-cover if February turns cold again.
