Attractive and different because of its smooth grayish-white stems and rounded leaflets. Blue flowers tower above the foliage. Looks good by itself as a specimen or in the background behind other species.

Seed is fairly easy to germinate. Scarify it with sandpaper before sowing, and
it should germinate within a week or two. You can also soak the seed in
warm water overnight to start the process. Otherwise, sow it outdoors between
November and January for good results.
