I googled this variety - and to me they look like any other browallia, and you can get browallia seeds at Stokes seeds, among other places. I grow Blue Bells, but Stokes also has Marine Bells and White Bells.

You will not find "Endless " seed. There are plenty of other options, though.

I really like browallia; what attracts you to the "Endless " series, in particular?

Many hybridized plants are sterile. Chromosomal polyploidy (more than the normal two pair) is the reason. Some hybrids do produce seed but they rarely breed true ; their off spring are likely to be inferior. Other hybridized plants may produce very few, very poor quality seeds. Still others seem productive for a few generations.

I'm assuming, like so many of the stunning hybrids we drool over, that the " Endless " series plants are sterile, or nearly so.

You won't find Browallia Endless seeds because they are patented strains from Proven Winners, and are sold only as plants.

Ah Ha! The reason I was interested was because they are Proven Winners which are generally good plants. I ordered every other one I could find including the Bells series and Americana series from Geo seed which someone here mentioned. I'm only a bit disappointed because Browallia are not deer resistant.
