that's why I am selling them, lack of room. I had 21 oreophila from just one plant in 7 years. I did not divide it for all that time and it was huge, and it's more than 21 because many of the plants have 2 or 3 grow point. That's a very vigorous plant! With all my seedlings growing, not sure where I will put them all in the future.
 
There are still a few of these 2. Shipping is around 20$ depending on the location and the weight of the box. I shipped a box in BC with 6 plants in it and it was 23$. It was there in a week and there were shipped with a bit of soil but not the full pot to avoid weight and cost of shipping. I am guessing a closer location would be 4 days maybe.

I am a new planter, can I plant them outside? I do not have a room for them... I live in the Niagara area. I wanna buy them!
 
I am afraid not, since you are probably zone 6, it is too cold to plant them outside for the winter. You could plant them outside for the summer, but you would have to find a proper location for the winter, especially for minor. I know some people who put a lot of mulch, like one foot of it, and cover it with a membrane, but they do lose plants that way. I bring them in my garage which is around 4C the whole winter. Some people let them come into dormancy in fall and then put them bare roots in a fridge in a ziplock bag with sphagnum moss.

So in your situation, I would go for the really hardy sarracenia purpurea, as these can live outside all year around no problem. I do not have any for sale but maybe some members do.

Thank you for your answer. If I move them into the garage in the winter, do they need enough light?
 
they don't need light when dormant, and if the temperature is cool, like 4 or 5C. I don't put any light in my garage during the winter and they just sleep and in spring I start opening the garage light a little and they wake up. Maybe you would be ok with just mulching for protection in your area, not sure. Last winter was very long and they had a dormancy period of a full 6 months. I never lost any doing this for 8 years, in my garage and no light until spring.
 
Yes, last winter was so cold, so the optimal temperature for dormancy is 0 to 5 degrees, right?
 
The wet soil is very heavy, so this can make the cost of shipping like 50$ or 60$ and generally people don't want to pay that much. It also require a much larger box and that too will rise the cost of shipping a lot. Usually I leave as much soil as I can to not disturb the roots too much, but you would have to prepare some. I use sphagnum peat moss 2/3 and 1/3 perlite. And it is best to prepare it a bit before because peat moss will take some time to soak in the water and if it is put right away with the plant, it can soak the water from the roots. If you prepare it the day before or at least a few hours, it will have time to soak in all the water.

Thank you! Can you tell me its full scientific name? I can't search for it on the internet. I will consider buying this one or Sarracenia purpurea.
 
Scientific name is sarracenia X readii Stevensii, it's an hybrid between sarracenia leucophylla ‘’Pink’’ and sarracenia rubra gulfensis. If you want to keep it outside, it is better to buy purpurea.
