That will work just fine. So will wetting the seed and doing the
stratification in the fridge.

That would be D.linearis which can grow in such conditions as can
D.rotundifolia. Both of them are supposed to be the "parents"
of this species. Besides for D.linearis though, these species
occur most often in normal acidic bogs. I would not worry about
raising the pH unless you are growing Pinguicula and even a number
of them can grow fine in peat/sand in soil which is slightly acidic.
