Leave the seed pods to dry naturally on the Siberian iris plant. Wait to harvest until the seedpods dry and begin to split open.
Cut the seedpod from the Siberian iris plant and place it in a paper bag.
Remove the seedpods on a table or other flat surface. Pull the seedpods apart and remove any visible worms. Pull out all plant debris and seedpod parts.
Place the seeds in a jar and put a lid on it. Label the jar with the date and the name of the plant.
Store Siberian iris seeds at 32 to 40 degrees F for up to one month and then prepare to germinate them.
