Hello everyone I want to build a bog in north eastern Pennsylvania has anyone built one this far north or farther what plants could I put in it that would with stand the winter. Karl Mazur has more experience in a cold climate than anyone I know, and he has found a way to grow all kinds of things in his Zone 6 garden. If you study his blog for clues, you will no doubt find all the info you need: zone6b.wordpress.com/author/mazurc/ |

I'm in zone 6b, here's my experience.
every sarracenia I've tried has done fine, dionea have flourished, drosera filiformis and intermedia do well, and spatulata has become established as an annual plant. I recently added drosera binata, anglica, and rotundifolia to my collection, and expect them to do fine as well.
pinguicula vulgaris would probably do fine, lutea and primuliflora could probably survive with a little shelter from the more extreme temperatures we experience.

I would presume most plants north (or south of your) equivalent latitude will be fine (-90 to -41 and +90 to +41).
Utricularia monanthas, dichotoma, lateriflora, tennela, violacea and drosera binate T form (as these are typically from Tasmania and Victoria as opposed to the warmer north), drosera arcturii, if you don't get snow many tuberous and pygmies like the cold.
But these are just guesses as I am tropical.
