If you can chip the seed coat of the Argyreia it will help them germinate faster. I use fingernail clippers and just nick it enough to see the white inside the seed. Soak them in water over night and then plant.

Thanks Poppy, I am trying to decide if I want to plant these now or wait...I have alot to winter over and no greenhouse yet..I will probably have to wait, just to much to bring in right now............ :o)

I grew them one year but never got any blooms. I didn't bother trying to winter them over. I'd start them in late winter and transplant them out in spring. With your longer season you may have a chance for blooms the first year. I'd imagine it's hardy in your zone 9...
