Cypress vine can last till November. That leaves you with 5 months of growing period which is a reasonable time. Cypress Vine can be sown in situ without much Fuss. I still have cypress vine germinating from last years fallen seeds indicating it can germinate and tolerate high temperatures(which will anyways will be lowered in monsoon). My experience with cypress vine is very good, and its a very hardy plants but i grew it in partial sun, which is "the" exposure for it.

Cardinal Climber is from same family. I attempted some in last fall, while few inches tall, those could not survive colder months. I would say sow couple of seeds.....nothing like experimenting and challenging weather.

Canary creeper in my opinion must be sown in fall as also recommended by Sutton.

@Munir Sb..........Sir most of your seeds are fall sown...some direct and some indoors. You can attempt Morning Glory and amaranthus at the moment or wait for next spring. If you do decide to sow morning glory and amaranthus few recommendations:-
1) Do not sow all the seeds
2) Sow indoors at a cool, well lit place and then gradually acclimatize to outdoor hot conditions.
3) Sowing media should be absolutely disease free.....because you will be required to keep the media moist to fend off hot conditions. Hot weather and prolong moist conditions are a recipe for damping off.
4) you can try starting these indoors in an air-conditioned room(mostly).

It is difficult to provide these conditions, therefore, shall sow them at the right time. Do I understand correctly that right time to sow Morning Glory & Amaranthus seeds is spring ie Mar & for others it is fall ie, Nov ?

Yes you can sow both of them in spring but amaranthus can also be sowed in fall, i will sow some in mid August... November would be rather late for Amaranthus.
