A short question
 

Hi all,

A friend of mine asked me if I could buy and send to him some seeds of
Japanese chrysanthemum. I went to a big flower shop and as I couldn't
find any seeds for sale I've asked someone there about this. He told me
that they don't sell seeds because I'll get no Japanese chrysanthemum
from seeds, only from cutting. He recommended me to buy some small
plants instead.

I have no knowledge of horticulture and from what I've found on the
net (ex.,
http://www.rhs.org.uk/learning/publi..._1198_saga.asp)
it is not clear for me why a Japanese chrysanthemum wouldn't grow from
seeds also. Can someone enlighten me on this issue?

Thank you.
