My neighbor gave me some yucca seeds in 2021. I overwintered them soaked them for 24 hours prior to planted them and had zero germination in the spring. In September I got more seeds from her and planted them immediately and use the snip method using fingernail clippers for half of the batch, and half the batch of seeds I did not snip. I got 80% germination from the snipped seeds and 20% germination from the non-snipped seeds. My plants are indoors right now and looking absolutely beautiful I have about 40 plants about 6 inches tall at 5 months.
The easy way to scarify the the flat hard dark shell is that I use a finger nail clipper to nick the shell. I tried both pre soaking and using the wet paper towel & baggie method both with real good successes , here in San Antonio. Thanks for sharing.
About to grow my yella and red yucca I grabbed from Arizona before moving to South Carolina. My yellow yucca seeds unfortunately got white mold on the seeds so idk how they will do, but I’ve got to try. Loved the yuccas, Texas laurel, and dessert Willow out in Arizona. Everything else was too pokey or very weed-y looking lol

I put mine in potting soil like natural falling seed. About half have germinated 5 plants and are about 3" tall.
I was looking for the follow-up... I want to be sure I plant the seedlings at the right time!
hesperaloe are so lovely, flowers all summer, seeds easily foraged from parking lots in the southwest lol
Yes they are!
great foundation plant for xeriscaping.
Yes I really like these, pretty year round too
any update on this planting you did?

Did this batch germinate better than your last batch? Do you think the time of year makes a difference? Can't wait to plant mine!
How many years will it take for the red yucca to bloom?
What happens when my seeds are white not black
Mine keep dying in Colorado. I think they are getting too much moisture. I just re-planted in a dry spot
What do your red yuccas look like now?
The few I have left are nice sized 1 gallon now, I planted more this spring, When I post that video I will show the older ones.
Can u grow in ny
