Hi Emry,

I got some fresh Darlingtonia seeds once to see how easy they were.
Well, what looked like a moderate amount turned into hundreds of
plants!

I just sprinkled them on top of wet, pure long grain sphagnum in the
fall and left them outside. In the winter here it is mostly around
40-50 F in the day and between 30 and 40 F at night. When warm weather
returned in February, March and April the seeds germinated. I didn't
have much problem growing the seedlings, but they didn't get large
very fast.
