I got mine as a plug plant from a company that sold them cheap, but I haven't tried from cuttings, I imagine it would work. I haven't noticed seeds on mine, but have had a couple of self set somethings that look like it but with larger leaves, I pulled one out when clearing the rose bed and realised later what it was. I think they could be late germinators of an unknown species of the pea family Indigofera I grew a few years ago, I often recycle the compost.

Donna yours is huge! Some Phormiums don't get as big, I have Jester in a large pot next to the back door with drooping leaves, it seems happy but I often think it may need a larger pot. There are some dwarf ones with upright leaves you could try.

You can see Phormium Jester behind the Ensete maurelli, which is in the garage, alive thankfully so far but got frozen. I was going to bring it inside, but look at the size! A frost got it early on, one of those harder than they forecast, and it took several frosts to -5C outside the garage but I moved it into the garage, the centre is growing a little. I can't lose that!
