Seeds of Scilla

The seed capsuals open soon after the green fades and they become red/
brown or straw coloured. If picked before they open, I suggest allowing
them to dry and open naturally, so that the seeds may finish ripening. They
self seed so easily that I would sow as soon as practical.

Hi,
When is the best time to collect seeds of Scilla siberica, Scilla
mischtschenkoana, or Scilla biflora? Do I wait for the pods to dry or can I
collect them green, and will the seeds still mature?
I've seen in Ian Young's Bulb Log how some seeds can be collected before
fully ripe.
Then, should I wait until Autumn to sow them?
