New garden, strange surprise

Will add info when on laptop

 

Ditto. :D

 

sorry for delay, family came for visit.

have moved into a new house and the garden was very over grown. i believe the plant above was a mexican yucca(?????????) tho not sure but when i went out today i noticed and took the above picture.

is this a mexican yucca producing seeds?

thanks for help and advice.

 

Looks like a Phormiuum (New Zealand Flax) seed head.

 

having just down a google search i would think you are right passed on the tall stem tho i cant see the colour of the base leaves.

how can i grow new plants from the seed pods?

 

Can anyone help

 

I'd agree with strongy, Phormium.

I've grown it from seed, bear in mind the seedlings might not look like the parent.
You just take the seed out of the pod, plant in a pot and leave to get normal temperatures until next spring.

Seed are black and very light, and wind dispersed.

Best form of propagation is division, in spring.:WINK1:

 

Can the seeds be taken from the pod and stored? Also those I do plant do I just leave plants the pots exposed or should they be covered and watered as necessary?

Thanks

 

Its best,
I would say, to sow as soon as the seed pods are ripe.

Put the pots outside in a sheltered position, perhaps covered if you get a lot of wet weather.


A covering of coarse grit on the surface stops moss growing.

 

Can the seeds be taken out and dried for later germination

 

I would say wait until the seed pods are dry before collecting the seed,

You could then store the seed in a paper envelope in a cool dry place.
