HI Charles I use the method below for all my Sarracenia and
Darlingtonia seed with excellent germination. I never use the
longer fridge method now. I leave the seed in their paper envelope
and put the envelope in a container filled with water and freeze for
36 hours, defrost and sow on the peat surface. Germination in 2-4
weeks. Have fun Ross Canberra, Australia

>>> Hello everyone! I will soon be getting about 150-180 sarracenia
purpurea seeds and they will need stratification. The person I am
getting them from has told me that I might try a quick
stratification technique He said to put the seeds in Ice trays and
freeze them for 36 hours. They let them thaw and put on seed
starting media. Has anyone tried this? what are your results?
Also what would be the best way to stratify a large number of these
seeds and what is the smallest amount of time they need to be
subjected to cold? I would appriciate any and all help/suggestions
Thanks Charles Redding Florida
