Soapweed Yucca Seeds - Native Drought-Tolerant Plant (Yucca glauca)

🌱 Outdoor Planting

• 
  Timing: Best planted in spring or early fall once danger of frost has passed (spring) or when soil is still workable before winter.
  
• 
  Site: Choose a full sun location (at least 6–8 hours of direct light daily).
  
• 
  Soil: Needs well-drained, sandy or rocky soil. Avoid heavy clay or spots that hold water.
  
• 
  Spacing: Space plants 2–3 ft apart to allow for mature spread and offshoots.
  
• 
  Planting Depth: Set crown at soil surface; do not bury deeply. If planting seed, sow about ¼ inch deep.
  
• 
  Watering: Water lightly after planting to settle soil. Once established, Soapweed is very drought tolerant and usually needs no supplemental water.
  

🌱 Indoor/Container or Seed Starting

• 
  Stratification: Seeds germinate better after cold stratification (place seeds in moist sand in a sealed bag in refrigerator for 30–60 days).
  
• 
  Planting: After stratification, plant seeds about ¼ inch deep in a fast-draining cactus/succulent mix.
  
• 
  Light: Provide bright light — a sunny windowsill or grow lights.
  
• 
  Watering: Keep slightly moist until germination (2–6 weeks). Once seedlings appear, water sparingly.
  

Care Tips

• 
  Low Maintenance: Once rooted, Soapweed thrives with minimal care and doesn’t need fertilizing.
  
• 
  Winter: Extremely cold hardy; tolerates harsh prairie winters.
  
• 
  Propagation: Besides seeds, mature plants often produce offsets/pups that can be separated and replanted.
