Thus far Parks has been the only place I've been able to find the full assortment of colors (offered individually) of the Magellan series (seed). I would think they'd become a popular bedding plant with commercial growers, especially since they bloom so fast and stay so small, but I haven't seen the plants offered anywhere yet. I've kept my eyes open for other vendors selling the seed in hopes of finding a better deal, the last couple of years they've been $3.95 a pack of 25 seeds at Parks. I did get excellent germination from them though. They have another series that touts all the same virtues called Daydream, but the one time I tried them I didn't get blooms that were as big or as fully doubled.

They're very easy from seed, so I'm sure you'd have great success with them :-)

I took another pic of the Magellan Coral in different light, and captured the color better here:
