Trachelium "Devotion Burgendy"

I saved the spent flower heads from this plant and put them in a paper bag. I am finding what I think is seed, its impossibly small. Does anyone know about this seed? I don't want to toss seed and save chaff, but this looks too small to be seed.

Rebecca,
I've bought Trachelium seed before; it's very small, and even came in a pellet... whether they came in a pellet because they were small, or because they needed to be very fresh, I don't know- but I thought I'd let you know anyway. ;)

The seeds are hard to grow (at least for me they were!), because they need light to grow, but the cats don't care about your seeds, they just want to get into the window. LOL So the soil gets knocked over and you can't find the seeds....
Good luck! :)
