Pitcherplant bogs require full sun.
Western sunlight, the more intense of the day, is especially important for good growth. If your land is flat, you can create an artificial slope when you dig the hole. We are looking for slight gradation. Choose a safe site for your bog. You don't want a site in the middle of a regularly used foot path where people will walk through the bog.
