Wait for seeds to ripen..?

First: congratulations on getting this to flower. It is a subtropical plant and rarely does in UK, but it is a mixed blessing.  It is not worth saving the seeds . It will take many years before you get a decent sized plant and if you want to to propagate it, it is better to take cuttings next spring, best in a greenhouse. 
I would just wait and see what this does. The problem if you cut off the main growth, is that it will turn bushy and occupy a lot of space. Ideally you want this plant to grow tall. Just remove the flowers after they wither then see if you get a side shoot which you can train as a main growth next year. 
Good luck.
