Dear plant physiologists and botanists especially those who are from India!

I have got a question about cultivation of Abrus precatorius.

At first, I want to know is A. precatorius perennial or annual plant, or biennial plant? (I've tried google it and I've got a controversy facts, so I do need a professional advice)

Secondly, when I tried to sow its seeds, I took a note that they had a different ability to swell. I put them on a wet sand for a night and saw that part of them increased volume twice while another did not swell at all. Anyway, only one of 25 seeds I planted gave a germ. Is such low rate of germination readiness normal for A. precatorius or I just dealt with a bad seeds?

Any suggestions about cultivation of Abrus are welcome!
