No seedlings, and it's been 6 weeks now. Any ideas?

Please does anyone know of any garden centre where I can buy Rosebay/Fireweed seeds from? I live in Manchester and I would love to grow some in my garden, I have only seen it on railway embankments and it's far too dangerous to go near there. Any help would be very much appreciated. Edric
