Since I have not given up on the M. Siam Ruby, but on obtaining a live plant from the US (to Canada) I am looking for a source of seeds, so I can grow a plant over winter.

I never saw any for sale here this year, but last year I was excited to buy a 3 gal. Siam Ruby for $25. Then later in the summer they had hundreds of 1 gal. plants at Lowe's for $3.25 each. I'm surprised that I saw zero this year except one local nursery had a 6' plant in their landscape. I saw it a few weeks ago, fried. You'd think they'd bring it in but it is planted next to a bajoo and maybe they think they are of similar hardiness.
