Yes, you will have plenty of seeds but since they are hybrids, they do not come true from seeds. When I planted Ballerina yellow (D. metel) years ago from seeds purchased from Park, I got yellow blooms that were not double. Purple Ballerina bloomed the same but the double was not as double.

I had 4 seeds left of the original double yellow Ballerina that I sowed this year to replenish my stock. Sold 3 and planted one. Now waiting for pods to be ready to pick. Grew only the double yellow to prevent crossing.

Photo 1 is from the cross D. Ballerina x D. inoxia (white).
2] is the double Ballerina that I have growing now from my last seeds.
3] Is D. inoxia. It is not a hybrid and I believe it is a native of Mexico.

Can't decide which one I like best. My stock of seeds
