Yes, the seed is in the bloom, but only if you have a female that set seed. The second article says it may take a while to get flowers from seed, plus you won't know if it is male or female. And only the females have the bright red catkins. So, everything I referenced said not to grow from seed, but from cuttings. Here is more:
