Seeds are formed in BB sized pods at the end of each flower stalk. These pods are green at first, but as seeds mature they turn to a brown color, eventually splitting and releasing small black seeds. Mature pods can be squeezed and they will split and release their seed. If not mature they will be green and hard.
