Default Re: Pollinating Sarracenia

Nonpollinated flowers will not make seeds, however if you grow your plant outside chances are a bee or wasp will pollinate it for you. The seeds have a coat that repels water and prevents germination. Cool and wet conditions, straftication, will break down this coat. The recommended straftication period is 4 weeks, give or take.
