I have had little plants grow from the sees pods, which really is the "fruit". But I've always given them away at Garden club's so I don't know if the plant is true to the parent, regarding flower color. The fruit is a capsule, green at first, then ripening to dark brown or black. It splits and releases numerous, small, winged seeds. If you cut these off, removing part of the stem (not too much), you will get a second bloom.
