Default How to properly deadhead tall bearded iris and daylilies

You don't just " Plant " the whole seed pod, you let the pod dry out and then
wait until next spring and then you soak the seeds for awhile and then plant and
it can take up to two years before you get anything if they grow at all and
they'll not be the same as the iris they came from.

But elsewhere the stars were still young and the light of morning
lingered: and along the path he once had followed, man would one day go
again."

Are those seed pods?

YES
It's not going to harm the plant to cut off the
stems with those pods, is it?

NO, you'll be letting the plant store the energy for next year that
would otherwise go to growing seeds.


Thanks a lot! I don't have the time to try it, but just out of
curiosity, does anyone know how to plant those pods?
