Tarragon seeds

I tried the search engine first and although it showed several posts for my question, when I clicked on them, nothing would come up! Sigh.

So here's the thing. I was at Wal-Mart picking up some flower seeds and saw the tarragon packet and bought it too. Then I get home and read Ed Smith's Gardener's Bible where it says that cooking-quality tarragon is NEVER grown from seed, always from plants. Grr. I'll hang onto the receipt and try to remember to take it back, but for $1 it's not worth a big effort. Is there anything useful to do with this seed? I don't want to plant I can't use later. Does it have pretty flowers or attract good bugs?

Other than idiots like me buying the stuff, why do they sell it and say on the label that the herb is good for cooking? What can I do with this to make it worth my dollar?
