Harvesting Hairy Balls Milkweed Seeds
Harvesting hairy balls milkweed seeds
The seed pod will start to dry out, eventually splitting open on its own. While some pods may start to turn brown, a milkweed pod could still be green, but be ready to harvest. If the center seam pops open from gentle pressure, the pod is ready to pick. If it doesn't open by pressing gently, it's not yet ready.
