Japanese knotweed can produce seeds, but it is extremely rare for these
seeds to germinate. The most common method of dispersal is by means of
stem, crown and rhizome (underground stem) sections.

New plants will grow from the nodes of pieces of green stem, in soil or
water. Mechanical cutters, such as flails, will spread knotweed in this
fashion. If stems are dried until they are dark brown, they will not regrow
unless the crown (base of the stem) is still attached.

I've seen plenty of knotweed. I've never seen seed heads on knotweed.
