You can sow them late winter in a cold frame, or april-may where you want them to grow. If you didn't collect all the seed heads you will find loads of seedlings round the parent plant, which can easily be transplanted.
If the seedheads are removed before ripening then you are likely to get a second flush of flowers, and you can collect seeds from those.
Also your original plants will grow again and form big clumps in a couple of years.
Good value for money!
