Is it worth collecting the seeds from ornamental alliums and trying to
grow them from seed?
If so, is it too late to sow now?

No, sowing them fresh is a good idea. Don't let the tiny new bulblets
freeze solid in their nursery pots. Those from a large allium flower
will take a couple of years or so to make a flowering-size bulb.

Thanks for that - I'll give it a go.
