The variety I have stayed with is Aquadulce Claudia and they have not let
me down despite sub zero temperatures sometimes.
Last year I bought too many(oops!) and sowed them in 2 week periods from
early Nov. to late Dec. and then the rest at end of Jan., they all came
through but the Dec and Jan took a long time to show.

same variety! I'm sure they will work, in the past I have sown in
November, sometimes they come through in autumn and get battered by
the winter wind, other times they do not come through till spring.

I plant three lots of broad beans. The first in October, the second lot in
the second week of December and the third lot in March/April and they
germinate without a problem. Last year, however, the ground was frozen so
the second lot of sowing was delayed. That is a rare occasion for us.
