You don't know of any places where I could purchase the seeds from
online do you?

Named varieties can only be purchased as growing plants since they
will not grow 'true' from seed. Although he doesn't list them, Terry
Read at Reads Nurseries may be able to help with these -

You should be able to get seeds of both the traditional guava (Psidium
guajava) and strawberry guava (Psidium cattleianum) from Chiltern
Seeds. They are relatively easy to raise and you should have
flowering plants in about 3 years and regular fruiting after a further
2 years.

I forgot to mention that guavas prefer mildly acidic compost and
appear to do best in equal parts ericaceous mix and JI No 2 to which
extra sharp sand has been added. A slightly sandy compost will help
prevent excessive build up of moisture around the roots - a condition
you need to avoid at all times.
