Stratification for vft seeds?

Is stratification necessary for VFT seeds? Savage Garden doesn't say it's needed, but yet specifically mentions its need for Sarrs. If yes, how long should stratification be? Thanks!
 
Yes, they do need stratification. I stratify them in the fridge for about 4-5 weeks.

Hope this helps,
Cole
 
whats stratification?
 
Stratification in the case of the VFT is a cold, damp period that allows the germination inhibitors in the seeds to leech out, thus allowing the seeds to germinate.
