Bergenia 'Sissinghurst White'

Hi everyone.  I've cut off most of the spent flowerheads from these bergenia  (front left) but have left a couple of stalks.  Does anyone know if these look like I could get seeds from them as they are and how to go about it?

    You could, but they may not come true, dependi ng  on whether bees have visited other bergenias in the neighbourhood. If you want more sissinghurst white, you need to dig them up and split them. The best time is spring when the flowers fade. Discard old woody bits and replenish the soil with fertiliser before transplanting fresh young shoots individually.
