What are the green "pods" on my peony at the end of the year? Can I plant them and grow another one?

Question

New to peonies, have one bush of double at my house. After it blooms and the flowers fall off, I get these pod like things, three to a cluster, where the flower was. I'm just wondering if I can plant these pods or if they are for the new flower to emerge. They don't bloom twice a year do they?

Answer 1

These are remains of the blooms. Sometimes, you'll get a seed pods which swells very big. If so, let it stay on the plant until it matures (turns brown), and begins to open. Take it off and let it finish drying out. The seeds should be kept in a cool spot until planting in the early spring next year.

Answer 2

These pods are called "seed heads". Remove seed heads after flowering is finished to allow the plant to store more energy for next year’s bloom.
If you want to divide or move your peonies, do so in late September or October. Carefully lift the clump and wash away the soil to expose the eyes. Using a clean, sharp tool, divide the clump into sections, each with three to five eyes and good roots. Replant immediately.

Answer 3

They are the seed pods from the flowers that were not removed. I have never planted them but it could be worth a try, after all there are seeds inside.

Answer 4

Peonies are usually grown from bulbs,but it wouldnt hurt to plant them and try and then you can tell us if it works.
I would plant them in the fall(because that is when you are suppose to plant the bulbs) but if you have several try them both ways. It never hurts to try.What have you got to lose?

Answer 5

I've never experienced green pods on the end of my . . . oh, wait . . . you said "peony."
