Greetings,
I have been enamored with Melianthus major since I first saw it featured
in Christopher Lloyd's garden in Sussex.  After three years of
searching, I have twelve wonderful shiny black seeds of this in my
possession.
I punctured the hard seed coat with a sterile needle and have sowed at
70F.  This was three weeks ago.  Should I be concerned or is more
patience called for?  Since it is a denizen of the Mediterranean, I
didn't think it required stratification.  Any words of wisdom greatly
appreciated.  Also, does anyone know of an American source of this
plant?

Best,
