I grow trailing varieties.  Its hits -8c where I am and they are on the 
veranda in hanging baskets so maybe a bit of protection.  They die back in 
the winter but resprout in the spring from seemingly dead stalks.  They are 
weaker in their second year. But they still give a good showing. You can also 
use them for cuttings in the spring but watch the mildew.

If its colder where you are maybe just cover them with a bit of soil to 
protect them some more.

The seedlings are SO slow to get going, but they do provide for a continual 
renewal of plants and yes the F2's are all over the place in terms of colour 
and form. But they are still lovely plants in hanging baskets.
