Toffee Nosed, Jenny Bloom, Little Maid and Percys Pride are some good colour ones

Boo, don't trust what people put on google, they will grow from zone 4 to zone 9, this is based on people i've met in those zones (online) on other sites growing them.

boo they're pretty easy to grow from seed, that way if you wanted to give it a try, it wouldn't be expensive if they didn't survive

I grew mine from seed, takes about 2-3 years to bloom from seed.

That's how I got my yellow and orange ones.  Dandy gave me the seeds a few years ago and they bloomed last year for the first time.  I had to move them last fall but I see they made it because they are still green & growing.
