Answer
To help keep Darlingtonia californica seed as fresh as possible until you wish to sow it, just store it in a paper envelope, inside a plastic bag (like a ziplock bag), inside the refrigerator.

When you want to sow Darlingtonia, stratification helps. This cold and wet period simulates a winter for plants such as Darlingtonia that produce their seed in the fall for germination the following spring.

To stratify Darlingtonia seed, just sprinkle some seed onto a paper towel, then moisten the towel with distilled water (or reverse-osmosis water) and fold it several times with the seed inside. Put that into a plastic ziplock bag and put it in the refrigerator (not the freezer) for about 4-5 weeks. Then the seed will be ready to sow and germinate.
