amazon neon seeds

Hi all,
Do any of you save seeds from amazon neon Dianthus? They are very expensive and I certainly could get a lot of them off my seed heads right now, but didn't know if they'll come true, or if anyone has tried this. Thanks.

They are F1 hybrid, so seeds wouldn't come true. However, I have found in sowing F1 hybrids that a percentage of the seedlings are like the parent plant. It's always fun to try.

I should have known that! I don't think I would try sowing such an important plant by saved seed if there is a chance they wouldn't come true. I use a lot of these, and it's nice to know what colors your getting. Thanks.
