I have read that sugar cane does indeed seed. Though its planted mostly from cuttings. Where is there a trusted seed source for this? I mean I have heard stories of someone buying sugar cane seed to find out that it was really sorghum. It looks to me like sugar can seeds might be a lot smaller than sorghum seeds from photos.

I've got sugar cane growing at home, been growing it for years. Never known it to set seed.

I've never seen sugar cane seeds for sale anywhere. Thanks, Jonna for coming up with a source for the original poster.
