Tarnok is sterile so seeds are unlikely.

Just put in full sun keep in a tray of rainwater and it'll be fine! No secrets to it.

They're sterile!!!!!!!! Can i atleast make hybrids? Does the Tarnok have any pollen or a stigma? Is it easy to propogate?

A sterile plant cannot be hybridized as it cannot be cross-pollinated. Best bet is to just wait for the plant to propogate itself vegetatively from it's rhizome, then divide it every couple of years in the spring.
