| In our garden, we have a pink peony "bush" with the flowers dried off. The flowers have left behind three seed pods per flower and are currently brown. I mean to ask, is it desirable to cut open the pods and hope that the seeds are ripe, or wait until the pods split open, then collect the seeds? Is there a surefire sign?
Thanks for helping. |

| If seed pod is brown & starting to dry out then its OK.... I usually put a "baggie" over the stem tip & close with a rubber band. This way I keep the birds away. OR take & cut stem & hang upside down in the garage |
