I have fallen in love with Clitoria ternatea based on photos on the web (I've never seen it in real life).

Can I grow it as an annual in Toronto? When should I start the seeds? Do the seedlings transplant easily or do they need special care?

Thanks in advance!

Before starting the seed soak over night in room temp water. I would plant them in individual pots or cell packs. This is a fast grower so I would not plant them too early probably 1st or second week of April. Give them bottom heat if possible warm temps hasten germination. I have grown them and if memory serves me they took about 3 weeks to germinate. I cannot recall how long it was before they bloomed for me.
