Subject: Sarracenia seed: species differences?

I have generally had pretty good success by stratifying with the paper
towel method for 4-6 weeks, mostly with Sarracenia purpurea ssp. purpurea
(from Ontario, Ca), S. flava, S. oreophila and S. minor.

However, I've had zero germination with the same treatment of fresh seed of
S. rubra ssp. rubra and S. leucophylla. Has anyone found differences like
these?
