Whats the best way to start the seeds and have you started this plant successfully from seeds n out of 20 whats success rate of plants from seed and do they take cold or survive potted?? thxx,

Yes this was started from seeds (about 5) and it grew into a big bush. The bush can take the cold but the leaves do fall off and there are no flowers right now maybe potted also (I don't know because mine are in the ground) They bloom in the morning and close by the evening.
.The datura, if it is datura, should grow well from seed. The datura seed pod is usually covered with spines, kind of like a little round porcupine. If that is what you have, let the pods mature and as they split open , collect the seed and plant them where you wish them to grow. You can also plant them in the garden and transplant them later. If this is the common "Sacred Datura" or "Angel Trumpet" it is also possible to propagate it from pieces of root. Dig some thick pieces of root that are three to four inches long and bury them shallowly where you wish the new plants to grow. This is probably best done in late winter just before the plants begin growth. Keep the root pieces slightly moist as they are beginning to grow. Just be aware that the plant (all parts) is toxic if ingested.
The other plants sounds like a trumpet vine which may also be propagated by root cuttings as described above, by cuttings, and most easily by "layering". To layer the plant, take a long stem, wound it by scratching the bark or slicing through the bark with a knife. Apply rooting hormone powder to the area of the wound, then bury the stem at that point. Use some metal wire or a heavy rock to help hold the vine in place. At this time, the stem which is still attached to the parent plant should begin producing roots at the point of the wound. In a few months it may be separated from the parent plant and transplanted to the site where it is to be grown. It is too late this year to try this, or at least too late to expect to transplant it this fall. You may begin the process and give it until late next spring to develop roots, or begin the process just before growth begins next spring
