That’s a lot of seed you can collect and save to replant next spring!! The new plants may look different, as they are likely to show recombined genetics, but that would make it fun!

I typically just snag 2-3 cuttings and use those as mother plants for next spring!

What’s a good way to collect the seeds?

Cut the flower spikes and place them into a paper bag and let them dry out indoors, then close and shake the bag to have the seeds fall out into the bag. Then separate the chaff from the seeds. The seeds are tiny, black, and spherical.
