Re: Germinating instructions sought

Pooring just-boiled water (!) over Baptisia seeds and letting them 
soak over night, then sowing them with proper innoculant (available 
from some native plant nurseries) yields good results with B. 
leucantha (white) and B. australis (blue), but spottier results with 
B. leucophaea (cream). Knicking the seed coat with sandpaper or a 
small file seems to help with the latter. The species you mention 
should work like one of the above.
