The two different plants grow together in the wild so I take it that they both will do fine with an 8-week cold stratification in the fridge...???

8 weeks should be fine. We're about to find out if they can tolerate 13 week.

Hey, I know how it goes sometimes. Sometimes life has other chores for us.

It will be interesting to see how yours work out...both sundews and pitchers?

Actually, it is more like 18 weeks for sarrs and 15 weeks for capillaris. Life's been busy.

I completely forgot about some Sarracenia seeds I had in stratification and they germinated fine after sitting in cold, wet paper towels for over a year.
