All I have played with do not seem to need a cold stratification. I have not fooled around with northern populations so they might be different. Also depends on if they are the giant forms or the small rosetted forms. If they are giant forms they seem to germinate better in low humidity conditions. Hot, bright, and on the dry side. Keep them uncovered. No bag for them. can't say with the small forms.....
I just put my seeds on top of 1:1 peat & perlite mix in a 4" pot with water levels half way up the pot. Stuck the pot in my dew tank, and a few months later I've got this:
The Tate's Hell Swamp "Long Arm" that I've been spreading around will not germinate covered. JimScott was one of the first I sent plants to. No stratification required either. Stratification will not harm the seeds or chances of germination, just take up 4 or so weeks of growing time. It depends on the locations, some need stratification some don't.
