I've got some yucca elata and yucca glauca seeds coming in the mail. I was wandering if it would be ok to germinate them now or is there a better time?

I started my yucca seeds germination providing a very good light in February. The seedlings do very well now.

If the seeds are viable, I see no reason why you shouldn't germinate them now. Just keep them warm, and give plenty of light when first sprouts appear. Yuccas are easy to grow from seed.

I like to start them now, so they can be planted outside next spring. 😀

Here's to all the global warming pushers, may your winters be -30 below and four feet of snow in your driveway. Because I want you happy.

How fast do the glaucas grow? Do they grow slow like the rostratas?

The bigger the plants are when you put em in the ground, the better odds of survival. I start all my plants early up here
