If it's flashy orange you want in the garden, the easiest and most economical way to go is the nasturtium. The seeds are inexpensive, roughly pea-sized and easy to handle, and germinate without a fuss. The flowers are edible; some folk put them in salads.
Legend has it that there are red varieties of nasturtium available. Perhaps owing to packaging goofs, we've had no luck in our quest for red nasturtiums. No matter the color described on the seed packet, the resulting flowers have been orange.
