The plant is patented. Whenever you see PPAF or any PP by the name that means the breeder applied for a plant patent. Plant patents last 20 years. This plant can only be propagated - as noted above - by cuttings, tissue or division by those authorized to breed it. The home gardener is not supposed to try to make starts. Patents allow the breeder to recover their cost for developing new varieties. The plant may or may not come true from seed. If it has not been bred to be "seed stable" it often will not and you could get any number of variations from its offspring.
Remember, it is dangerous to the environment and ILLEGAL in MANY states (CA is one) to mail plants/bulbs/cuttings in. Let’s all practice Do No Harm while we walk this earth and find other ways to connect to one another through gardening.
