Does it mean you can then plant those seeds? Sorry I am a novice.

A bloom appears, the seeds develop fully, and then the bloom shrivels because its job is done. A plant that his gone to seed has completed its cycle for the season. You can keep some plants vibrant a little longer by removing the blooms when they first start to decline, so the seeds don't have a chance to mature. This is called deadheading -- removing flowers after their peak but before they have a chance to deteriorate.

That's exactly what it means. When a plant has 'gone to seed' it's completed it's life cycle of blooming and maturation. This is a great and inexpensive way to start new plants!
