Description: 60 SEEDS, HAND HARVESTED AND CLEANED THIS WINTER FOR THIS SEASON. All of our seeds ship with tracking.EVERGREEN PERENNIAL. VERY LOW MAINTENANCE. VERY HEAT AND DROUGHT TOLERANT. VERY ATTRACTIVE TO HUMMINGBIRDS. The BEAUTIFUL Texas Red Yucca plant is a clumping, grass-like mound of succulent leaves. Closely related to agaves, it tolerates and thrives with LOTS of abuse and is highly successful for xeriscaping. It will do very well in pots and is great for lining roadways, walkways, and pool areas—It tolerates the glare and the heat without breaking a sweat—requiring very little care, very little water. PLUS….The growth habit is easy to keep in control….AND NO THORNS!! It sports long, arching narrow bladed leaves—like rolled grass—with curly white “threads” along the edge of the leaf margins. It grows 2 to 3 feet tall and can achieve a clumping spread up to 4 feet. Native to the Texas Rio Grande Valley area and northern Mexico…..It is hardy to 12 degrees Fahrenheit. GREAT HUMMINGBIRD PLANT. The bright, showy, cherry pink/red to scarlet bell-shaped, tubular flowers, are about 1 ½” long, and are held well above the foliage on tall stalks—that can be 8 feet tall on mature plants. Zones: Perrenial 8-10 (In other areas grow as a container plant.) It is hardy to 12 degrees Fahrenheit.Location: Reflected to full sun—direct, full sun for maximum blooms.Blooming Season: Early spring through fall THESE SEEDS ARE FRESH, HOMEGROWN, HANDPICKED AND CLEANED, AND WERE COLLECTED FOR THIS PLANTING SEASON I CAN MAKE BULK QUANTITIES AVAILABLE IN SOME OF THE SEEDS I OFFER, AND WELCOME INQUIRIES! SHIPPING W/TRACKING (USPS Retail Ground) OR PRIORITY SHIPPING AVAILABLE ON REQUEST AT CHECKOUT ****I am happy to respond to inquiries and give the best information I have. ABOUT OUR SEEDS (A SORT OF DISCLAIMER): ***We grow, harvest, clean and store our seeds, ourselves.*** **Some plants are restricted by various states. We will notify you if we are aware of any restriction, but we mostly know about restrictions here in Texas. ULTIMATELY IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE BUYER to verify if your purchase is restricted by your state, county or city government. **INTERNATIONAL BUYERS......While we are happy to ship seeds internationally, WE DO NOT OFFER PHYTOSANITARY CERTIFICATES. Again, IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE BUYER to verify whether or not seeds might be banned from import into that country and might be seized at customs. **MANY of the seeds we offer are NOT annuals with quick starts and short lifespans. Most are particularly suited to withstand the the extreme heat of central Texas summers. Some will take things entirely at their own pace and require a really warm soil and/or other special treatment for "quicker" germination...and germination MAY require weeks, months and longer. **There are all manner of predators and conditions which can affect, hamper or even destroy germination....like molds, soil fungi, bugs, birds, squirrels, armadillos, pets and other varmints, soil and air temps (day AND night), water, light, care or lack thereof, contamination of planting media, and the list goes on. **Germination tips are sent with each variety of seeds. The general method that works well for us in our location, particularly. **BUYERS ARE ENCOURAGED TO DO THEIR OWN RESEARCH for their particular areas. The internet abounds in information. Grower forums, county extension agents, and local nurseries can also be quite valuable sources. ** "FLOATING SEEDS" is not necessarily an indication of seeds with no viability. In some species, floating is the indicator that the seed IS viable....and in some species (like citrus) both sinkers and floaters will germinate, depending on the maturity and freshness of the seed. **** THANKS! **** _gsrx_vers_823 (GS 7.0.12 (823))SaveSaveSaveSave
