Message:
I have great bushes of Lunaria but I cannot figure out the proper time to harvest the branches for drying. Do I wait for the seeds or the seed pods to get brown?
Do I let them just start to brown or turn completly brown? Something I read said to wait for the coppery color? I am very confused. help please.

Let the seed pod completely develop (i.e. turn brown). Then you remove the outer brown, husk-like membrane revealing the satiny, silver lined, flat pod. You can
actually pick it earlier but removal of the outer membrane is much more difficult 'peeling'.
Good luck.
