Does Lavender produce seeds?

My brother wants some of the Lavender I have in my garden. Could I cut
some of the plant off from somewhere to grow in a pot to produce more
plants?

Depending on the variety, cuttings might be best.

I have 'Goodwin Creek Grey', which is a hybrid -- a cross between French
and wooly lavender (Lavandula lanata × dentata). Hybrids do not
propagate true to their parents from seed. On the other hand, a
non-hybrid might propagate true from seed if no other species of
lavender is nearby.

Why take the risk? Propagating from cuttings is very easy with lavender.
