My Soapweed Yucca has a flower spike. I am so excited. I have 4 of these in the garden but this one is doing best as it is planted on a rock wall with very free draining soil. The others are direct in the ground and not doing as well. I am hoping they spruce up a bit as they age. I started these by cold stratifying seeds in the fridge for a month back in July of 2022. Growing them out and placing them. Out of the bunch only these 4 are left. Hoping to get seeds this year. Any other folks have this growing?? Curious some good ground cover to put around the base. I have some Small-Fame Flower (Talinum parviflorum) growing around that has been spreading.
