It is more dwarf than other Yucca species growing 15 - 18 inches tall and 4 to 6 feet wide.. Banana Yucca is a has thick, stout olive-green leaves and big spikes of showy ivory flowers in late spring. It is very cold hardy and well-adapted for xeriscape landscaping where minimal water is required. Give it room, as it will form wide-spreading colonies of stems.. The large, banana-like fruits are readily fed upon by songbirds that eat the sweet, fleshy skin surrounding the seeds. Flower spikes may rise 2 - 3 feet above the main plant.. Due to their intense heat tolerance, they are a good plant choice for areas with reflected heat such as city medians, desert style commercial landscapes. Banana yuccas can also tolerate some part shade and are very drought tolerant once established. Plants will adapt to just about any soil type as long as it drains well..

This Gulf Coast wild flower seed mix is specifically formulated for the Gulf Coast, Caribbean, Southern Florida, and the most southern part of Texas. The species in this mix are suited for the humidity and temperature extremes. This is a mix of both perennial and annuals suited for USDA zones 8 - 10 in the gulf coast. Reaches a height of 24 - 36 inches.. Most wildflower seeds and mixtures have a purity of 95-99 and total viable seed percentages of between 70-95. The total viable seed percent is the germination percent, plus the hard seed or dormant seed percent. Hard seeds have impermeable seed coats and cannot imbibe water during seed testing. Dormant seeds are viable seeds that have specific physical or physiological conditions that prevent the seed from germinating at the time of seed testing.. Important factors to consider when planting 1 Does the site support plants now If you have a site where nothing, including weeds, is growing, that site is unlikely to support wildflowers. 2 Will there be adequate moisture during germination and establishment Can you supply supplemental water, if necessary 3 What weed seeds are likely to be present in the soil Will weeds spread to your site from adjacent areas. The best time to plant in your area depends on the climate and rainfall patterns as well as the species you are planting. In cool climates, plant annuals, perennials or mixtures of annuals and perennials in spring, early summer or late fall. Fall plantings should be late enough so that seeds do not germinate until spring. Perennials can also be sown in early fall provided that there are at least 10-12 weeks of growing time before the plants go dormant for the winter.. Sowing Rate 14 LB Per 500 - 1,000 SF or 5 LBS Per 10,000 - 20,000 SF. Each wildflower mixture we carry has a recommended minimum and maximum planting rate. The planting rates for some mixtures are adjusted higher due to the presence of small-seeded, nonaggressive species. In general however, the minimum planting rates are based on 60-70 seeds per square foot, which is usually sufficient to establish a good stand of wildflowers..
