My Peony is loosing it's flowers, and the seed "pods" are very obvious now. Does anyone know when they are "ripe" so I can save the seed? I have a plant propogation book, but it doesn't specify just how to tell that they are ready for saving.

What makes me nervous about dividing the clump is that I read that you have to be sure not to injure any of the fat roots....yet the picture shows them all lumped together under the center of the plant. How can you go down the middle and not damage them?
