Does this mean I might get fertile seeds, or do you need multiple plants for that. Anyone know how hard they are to grow from seed?
Usually they are. You just have to sow and find out yourself.

Growing from seeds is not tough, but just takes forever!
It may take somewhere from 4 to 7 years before you see flowers depending on the growing condition.
If you can keep them warm in the winter and get them going all year around, you can cut down on the time required for them to reach the blooming size, but it will still be 3 or 4 years at least.

In that sense, it would be very tough.
Plus, the progeny will most likely be not as good as the parent.

If you have the space to grow the babies and patience it takes, then why not?

Go for it. You could come up with one (or more) that might be superior than the parent!
