I've even had _S. purpurea venosa_ survive the winter if ALOT of mulch is
added.

I prefer pitcher plants because of their physical hardiness. The sundews I
usually dig-up and bring in for the winter (stick 'em in my fridge). The
non-hardy Sarrs are kept in pots which are dug into the ground, they are
brought in during the winter and stuck in the coldest part of my basement. For
the outdoor bed, I put 6" or so of leaves and pine needles on top of the bog to
help protect the plants.
I should also mention that my bog is placed in a shady spot and therefor rarely
needs to be watered. It's between two trees and is protected from the wind and
so forth. The trees also supply most of the mulch.

Some of the local plants will probably find their way into you bog. Some are
quite annoying (i.e. the rushes and grasses).
