This plant will be planted along with my Dasylirion Longissimum next spring and will over winter in one of my walk in plastic greenhouses.

What a good idea! That would work good for winters with lots of rain.lucky1 wrote:In your location, I'd build a carport over it so it doesn't get rain.![]()

The supplier should change freight companies, and set written standards for future shipments.the supplier to demand why this plant has been sent to me in this condition.
Happy to comply, Aaron, although mine aren't on steroids.How about an update on your rostratas
Sure, that's what they all say.lucky1 wrote: Much bluer than my camera does justice...

Aaron, winters are challenging when heat isn't available.it did not make it through the winter. I should have keep it inside longer.
Yup, Andy, that'll be a challenge.then you're in trouble
The one I tried came from a green-house grown stock. So that may have been my problem, and I should have grown it inside that first winter. But all the other I have here I have grown from seed and I have never given them heat, and many I only cover the first year (except last year I coved most everything).lucky1 wrote: Y.rostrata will NEVER make it here unprotected.

Barb, I would not risk your rostrata to the cold sense you have power close by, I just want people to know that in the right planting conditions, rostrata my live in thier area, and is worth the risk if they can get the plants cheap enough.lucky1 wrote: But I just can't bring myself to risk an unprotected/barely protected winter for my rostratas...yet that would certainly make them hardier if they survived.

Mine are called Y.rostrata "sapphire skies" (Plant Delights nursery in the Carolinas).

Thanks Andy!andym wrote:Andym, do you know the selection/form of rostrata you have? I think the silver leaves are amazing.
Aaron... I'm afraid I don't but I'm actually wondering now whether it is a hybrid. I just don't have enough experience to tell. I am still in contact with the supplier so I will enquire.
But with leaves that wide it looks that way.
Thanks for the link, I forgot about all the very cool plants they have. I spent half the day reading it.lucky1 wrote:And that link, Aaron, will make you drool at all the yuccas they have.
