FREE: 100+ White Yucca seeds

That's neat that you lived in Bellefonte!

For the yucca seeds, they don't overwinter in the cold well so you will either want to start them indoors or wait until after frost (though I'm not sure how that works in Texas). From what I read, the soil should be about 55 degrees before planting.

Germination for these is not 100%, so plant more than you think you need. They will do okay bundled. I have 2 of mine right on top of each other, and they just look like one big plant, though you can tell it's 2 because there are 2 flower stalks (each plant has one stalk of flowers). I think they would look great in a row/border.

I don't think they have any serious sun/shade requirements. I have some out in the middle of my yard that get a lot of sun and another right up against my porch where it's more shaded, and they all are thriving. Once you get them established, they are very hardy.

Other things to note about these plants are that parts of it are edible, mainly the flowers and seed pods (of course, always do your research before eating new plants). And Native Americans use the leaves for weaving. The leaves can also be split into fine strings that can be used to make very strong cords, and the ends are pointy, so you can use it as a "needle and thread."
