(I tried this in the 'Saving Seeds' forum with no takers...)
I have some 'Flore Pleno' paeonies that I would love to propagate by seed, but the seed pods never mature. Same with a simple P. officinalis which I grew from seed around eight years ago.

Does anyone have any idea how I would encourage their seed pods to mature?

Any help much appreciated...

Maybe they aren't getting pollinated? I'd try to pollinate them by hand and see if that helps....
