If you are wondering how to get to Cedar Bog, a quick map search should pull it up or call their visitor center for directions from your location: 937-484-3744.

The sign is gone from route 235. How do you access the big?

So far as I know, they do best in poor soil conditions with lots of water & the vast majority of Ohio has poor soil conditions, so they ought to do fine just about anywhere- moreso if you place them near water, where water tends to collect or happen to live in/ near swampland.

However, there are subspecies to the pitcher plants. You want to make sure you get the Sarracenia Purpurea Purpurea variety instead of one of the other two subspecies.

As far as we know Sarracenia are not considered poisonous, however I wouldn’t recommend eating them before doing thorough research to ensure they would be safe for human consumption.

Can u eat pitcher plants like salad

Hi Sarah, thanks for your question! If other carnivorous plants are growing in the soil already, S. purpurea pitcher plants would likely do well there also. If the bladderworts floating in the pond are the ones you are referring to, it’s a little harder to say for sure since they are in the water rather than directly in the soil.
