We grew these last year at tne nursery.  
Plant the seed in a small pot, just under the soil.....1/4 inch.
They like warmth, being tropical.  Or sub-tropical.
Move them into good sized pots or plant them when its warm....above 45
degrees at night.
Ours grew up into the overhead water lines and had to be monitored daily
for bad behavior.  Not that they were really misbehaved, but rather that
once they got into the lines, they created a hassle to remove for sale. 
Lots of people liked them, and we sold them for $4.49 and they were well
over 8 feet tall.  Here in the Pac NW they are an annual vine.
When the days got long, they stopped blooming.
Start early becuase they quit in about July.
