Hi all,  I'm new to this list and enjoying all the different levels of
expertise of the postings.  I have a package of Cerinthe 'Blue Kiwi', a
fantastic tender (below zone 9) perennial with incredible blue/green leaves
and startling cobalt blue flowers on the tips.  It definitely is in the pea
family and the seeds are a little larger than sweet peas and very, very
hard.  I have mine soaking for 24 hrs. like I do for Sweet Peas and am
hoping that will aid germination.  Does anyone have any suggestions?  Should
I nick the seeds before planting?  I have never grown this plant, only seen
it last summer in a local garden designer's garden and it took my breath
away, so I hope to give it a prominent place in my own garden.  TIA,
Marilyn  (zone 8b)
