Default passionflower - how to sprout?

Any first-hand info on how to start passionflower from seed? I filched
a past-use-by fruit, allowed it to ferment on my counter. Now it has
dried to leather and I've harvested the seeds, which fall into two
categories: greenish and nearly black. I presume hte black ones are
more mature and will therefore be more likely to sprout.

Do I need to soak and score these things to help them sprout? Toss them
in moist potting soil and leave them alone? Wet paper towel method? Other?


Did a quick google, found this:

It appears they benefit from stratification.

Good luck! :-)
