Hello Miguel,
on my opinion seed of P. lusitanica does not need any
stratification to germinate. I have sown several times seed
directly after the ripening of the seed pots and all the time
germination rate was very high. Even with seed I kept for years
(stored in a warm appartment) germination was still ok. But it can
happen that certain conditons (temperature, humidity, fungus
infection) provoke that the fertility of the seed is decreasing very
soon.
Best regards and good luck nevertheless,
