Peonies from pods?

Posted on TRC as well so apologies for the repeat but has anyone ever grown peonies from the seed pods that the flower produces? I have a lot of them and it seems a waste to just let them shrivel up so I’d like to have a go at propagating them.

Any hints or tips gratefully received. ;)

You’re right. The root on mine is huge, so I’ll look into that too! Thanks.
