 anyone in my type of climate had any experience with them? I am tempted
 to give it a try since they are only $16.95CAN for one plant of each of
 three colours, but I'd like to have some prospect of success. >>

If Vesey's is seed, I think it is seed, you would be better off spending your 
money on a plant.  That seed is very difficult to germinate.  I would also 
question the number of doubles in the offering.  Many double flowered plants 
offered as seed have only a small percentage mature as doubles.

I have singles that took forever to establish in my cold garden and to my 
amazement the doubles are OK, too.  All started as purchased plants.
