Default ?Seeds from Surfinias

Hi all

Surfinias over here in France are extremely popular but I have never

come
across seeds for them in packets. Plenty of Petunia and Petunia

Pendulant seeds
which I always grow, but no Petunia Surfinia seeds. It seems you can

only buy
the plant ready to pot and I buy and plant like everybody else but this

year
have decided to collect the seeds. Will these be fertile and if so will

they
produce the same colour flowers?

I believe that surfinas are micropropogated, and are themselves sterile.
They will certainly grow from cuttings, but AFAIK they are protected by
Plant Breeders Rights so they cannot be sold for profit.
