bearsearch said:I find that by the time the seeds are mature and ready to disperse the whole stem is dry and brown and the seed capsule will split on its own. Then the stem just pulls out really easily and no surprises with bulbs still attached. The seeds will sit dormant till the following spring before germinating. It takes about 3 to 4 years for the bulbs to reach flowering size.
