Hi Phill. I received some Drosophyllum seeds from Glenn Rankin (thanks
Glenn!) and had no trouble getting them to germinate, which is most likely
due to the freshness of the seeds. I kept the seeds in bright light and
temperatures around 70 degrees F. I spray misted the seeds every day until
they were thoroughly wet. I believe the seeds absorb and store the water
until there is enough water to sustain the seedling. I had 100%
germination. I think you could sow the seeds now. If you sow the seeds in
the spring I do not think the seedlings would be large enough by the
summer to withstand dessicating conditions. Good luck.
