no, the canadian sarracenia purpureas are 's. purpurea subsp purpurea', that is the only canadian native. a mutant of this that grows in canada is 'sarracenia purpurea var montana', the rest, like sarracenia purpurea subsp venosa are more southern species.
you can basically grow almost all the sarr species in canada, but you must cover them up for winter.

as far as i know, S. purpurea var montana doesn't occur naturally in Canada. You probably meant the all green Sarracenia purpurea form, which is S. purpurea f. heterophylla

OK, this is probobly going to be the last bunch of sarrs I'm gonna ask about if they can survive Canadain (ottawa) winter. so can Sarracenia alata, Sarracenia 'Judith Hindle', Sarracenia minor, Sarracenia rubra ssp. wherryi, Sarracenia purpurea ssp. venosa, S. purpurea var montana, and sarracenia purpurea subsp. purpurea f. heterophylla survive our winter?

Hey Devon,
Was just browsing around this forum (haven't been here in months) but I saw your post. I've got ALL my sarracenia outdoors here in Niagara Falls. Everything survives just fine. I cover my bogs with about 6 inches of pine needles and shovel snow in piles over top when we get it! All my flytraps are outside too... no losses yet (knock on wood - at least not to the cold)

What abbout a greenhouse? I have a pond that I greenhouse for the winter and really no ice forms on the surface. I would love to have some CP arround the pond. Would the humidity create an issue with some of these plants and their dormant stage? Anyone have experience with a greenhouse?

That is a heck of a first question, very atypical- excellent!
I don't know as anyone has done such a thing (specifically a greenhouse over a pond with CPs in it) , so my immediate reaction to the question was "better to just do like everyone else"
However, the fact that I can't think of a good answer right off doesn't mean anything haha
I guess some particulars would help this process- what is the temp range in your greenhouse over winter? Do you plan on having the plants in the pond water itself, or in separated containers around the edge to provide an illusion of a "bank"??
That should be good for a start

You would have to keep two things in mind, the first would be that you don't want the Sarrs to be too wet during the winter or you'll risk rotting them during the spring and the second would be to keep the temps as close to 0C without a freeze thaw cycle. If they're not to damp and kept from freezing and thawing then you'll be good.

I seem to remember a post like this before:
I was wondering when my S. purp outside would flower-it's got lots of big pitchers. Well a few days ago I found out. It has a big flower bud coming now! I'll post pictures when it flowers.

I grow some s.leucophylla, s.flava in my bog... and I don't cover the plants with anything.. They survived 2 years now.. with Venus Flytraps too.. I live in quebec.. I think the snow is protective..

In ground cultivation with a reliable snow cover is probably the best way. Unfortunately I don't have the opportunity so it's into the garage for my guys in the winter.

Strange S. purp flower coming out in September! Also the flower stalk was only about 8 cm high.
