Temperate Drosera seeds need cold stratification treatment to ensure reliable germination.
Mix up a pot or 3 of a good CP mix, like peatmoss and perlite.
Read this article: http://www.growsundews.com/sundews/Germ ... ON_PROCESS
Pick one of these and try it, they all work.

+1 on outdoor stratification or water stratification. I use centrifuge vials and it works well for most sundews.

If you decide to use the outside method, be careful, if you get a lot of rain the seeds might get washed away. I had that happen to me a few times, it's very annoying.

Thanks but my bog has a lip so when It floods and when the sun's out it evaporates away.
