Dianthus barbatus black adder

Albany, ME(Zone 4b)

In the Plant Files entry for this plant, it says its flowers are sterile and it does not come true from seed.

#1 - How can it not come true from seed if there are no seeds????

#2 - I grew my Black Adder from purchased seed. Is there a way professionals have of getting seed that "comes true" while that gathered by gardners won't?

In other words, is it worth my while to gather my Black Adder seed, if any?
