Well, I have bad news and great news. The seeds that I thought were agave aren't. They are Texas Red Yucca. I found the plant at the nursery and it was positively indentified as the Yucca not agave. So to all those that were sent seeds for agave and wanted agave I'm sorry. However, the Texas Red Yucca is even better. Hummers and buterflies love this plant and it's quite a prety plant.
If you want these seeds email me and you will have them for SASE. I will try and send a picture with the seeds along with growing instructions and soil requirements. Very easy to grow.
I'm still learning and this was a real learning experience.

I have a few more trades of these seeds if any one is interested. Just email me and the first four will get them.

The picture in the DB doesn't really do this plant justice. It's much prettier then shown there.

This is great! I'm collecting seeds native to the southwest to sow on our property in southeastern Arizona. So now I can grow it here in Illinois AND there, in AZ.
I'm excited! It looks beautiful.

Haven't you ever heard that expression before? It just means that when someone does something nice for you, you do something nice for someone else and it just keeps going and going on and on. Pay It Forward. Get it?
Duh...Nope,never heard it,but it is cute.

Texas Red Yucca is a member of the Agave family ;-)
Thanks Scooterbug, It is true that I said agave but in researching the plant I discovered it was a yucca plant which is in the agave family. Whew! This is still learning a learning process for me. Please hang in there with me.
To all that received seeds, let me know how the plants develope for you all. Thanks
LOOOKIE HERE !!!!!
............Yellow is relatively new
shirley ;-) SB
Wow! That is pretty too. Where did that pic come from and do you think we can get some seeds for that color?
I read about the yellow,took me forever (hours) to find the photo of it,let alone SEEDZ. Starting to think they are still too new to be available,I even tried to find an overpriced plant....no-go.
Sometimes I will pay $$ if I must have it and I think I can propogate it somehow. I like to split up perennials when I buy them at HD or Walmart early in the season,2-4 plantz for the price of one,it's a good thing, heheheh.
shirley >^,,^< SB
Seeds are all gone for now. More next year.
Thanks to you all for all the sharing you have given to me.
Pay It Forward :~)
Jan
If anyone is still looking for these seeds, please LMK.
The plants around my area are seeding now.
Same SASE offer as Jan's.
(Hope this is ok with you, Jan.)

Cajun2.....How nice of you.....any Yeller ones('-'?)
No, SB, I sure wish!!!! Those look so cool!
I WILL be on the lookout though!
Glad I stumbled on this post...
~ Carole
Absolutly. I would love some of the yellow seed if you have any. SASE? Let me know.
Thanks
Jan
If and when I spot some of the Yellow Yucca, I will be sure to gather seeds and let you know ; )
Hi
Received the seeds today and just wanted to let you know they arrived safe and sound. I really appreciate them and am excited to have them. I promise to take very good care of them so that I can share seeds when they grow up.
Thanks again
Alice
Does anyone know how old these have to be to bloom and thus set seed?
Just curious.
Thank you very much Tombstonejan! They arrived today
and I really appreciate the surprise...starting seeds
will be really exciting this year :)))
Many, many thanks Jan..Seeds arrived today and how quick. I'm looking very much forward to grow them.
Cajun2..if you spot seeds of the yellow one...please I'ld like to have some seeds of it too.
You know I will, Saya!
