Coneflower seeds

Hello forum!

I just had a quick question. Last fall, I gathered a bunch of puple coneflower seeds. I did not sow them before winter though, so they didn't have that cold period for stratification. I have read a couple of articles online saying that they need that cold period or else they won't germinate. I went against their words and did a little trial. I planted pinch of the seeds in three cells containing peat moss and have had them under a light. It's been about two weeks and I've just found one sprout. Should I go out on a limb and sow a bunch more in the garden? Or was my trial just a freak occurrence? Should I just refrain from sowing them, so I can sow them this fall?

Thanks :)
