Hybrid - doesn't reproduce true from seed. You could try the seed exchange forum, some seedlings (they will vary) may be of similar size/form but you'll have to grow to blooming to know.

I put in mail order Fragrant Angel and After Midnight around May 19th. Both have stems that can't hold the tallest flower so first flowers on both didn't bloom. Were planted with Bonide transplant shock solution dosed twice at 7 day intervals. Ten days later lightly fed with dry organic watered in well. Have kept them watered since but not doing well. Found white powdery glop on stem and leaf juncture below tallest flower on After Midnight. That was same stem where last tallest flower keeled over and died at stem bend. Cut off entire stem down to base of plant. Fragrant Angel has same problem holding unopened flower on weak main stem. Since they're right next to each other maybe there's something in my amended clay soil that's doing them in. Two Liatris Ligulistylis from same mail order place developed black spot day after I got them. Was told by vendor to either spray with chemical or with nonfat milk/water solution and/or vinegar/water solution. I went the chemical route but one was yanked today since roots were dead. Second one looks like it's going same route. Found nursery about 40 minutes from here that carries Ligulistylis so I'll hike out there next week and get two more. These Liatris were behind the two echinacea that aren't doing well. Don't know if that's coincidence or not. Seems whatever deer/rabbits/groundhogs/moles don't eat above or below ground is either being overtaken by hungry bugs/insects or spots/powder. Thought I was at least "safe" with Blue Globe Thistle. Someone ate all the nice new growth of middle leaves out of 3 plants. What a bummer of a first attempt at gardening. Gardeners must have a higher level of tolerance for "nature" than I seem to have! On the bright side the Echinacea Kim's Knee High in the front garden is full of blooms. Someone ate the first two but must not have noticed the 11 new blooms. I suspect the part sun position of the two echinaceas that aren't faring well could be a big part of the problem. Write ups on both say they can take part sun but doesn't seem to be the case. Don't have any sunnier places on father's property to relocate them and other things in back of butterfly garden that I think need more sun. Just one tree would have to be felled and a second pruned a little to give me the sun those plants need. Unfortunately, it's a perfectly healthy tree and doesn't seem right to cut down a healthy tree. I'd do it in a flash, though, if my father agreed. His fig tree doesn't produce ripened fruit because of shade from same tree so maybe there's a chance.
