The nursery at work should not be as much work as it is. It produces more than we use.
1. Musa ingens, oem, or giant highland banana, is pupping, with three new pups poking through the jade plant that covers the medium around the base of the original specimen.
2. Pulmonaria officinalis, lungwort covers the medium around the base of a specimen of ‘Mekong Giant’ banana. This plant blooms pink, and is from Tangly Cottage Gardening.
3. Salvia greggii, autumn sage grew in a vacant pot of otherwise empty medium. It may be useful within one of our landscapes. Its parent is ‘Hot Lips’. It is very likely the same.
4. Cydonia oblonga, quince is one of a few small rooted cuttings of an understock sucker of a pear tree. It is useful for grafting certain pears, but I will retain one to produce fruit.
5. Hesperaloe parviflora, red yucca is growing from seed that I brought from Arizona. It is considerably more abundant than expected. What can I do with eighty-six red yuccas?
6. Saccharum officinarum ‘Purple Ribbon’ sugarcane grew fast enough from bits of cane last year to produce a short length of new cane. It recently shed old leaves to expose this.

I’m already happy to have a Red yucca in my garden ( in bloom soon ! ) that’s still alive! (I think it was in my post last week) So seeing 86 in your photo is amazing.

They are just seedlings for now. We can accommodate quite a few, but I will share most with neighbors as they mature.

But don’t we all grow more plants than we need? Most gardeners are compulsive propagators and needing the plants has nothing to do with it.

I suppose so. I propagate every scrap that I can.

I agree with Fred. The only thing that prevents me from doing that is sheer laziness. I carelessly toss seeds about and see what makes it. Or I spend on bare root native plants and solanum starts for the veg beds. I grow some vegetables like I do the natives, just letting them reseed where they will. Harvesting becomes more like foraging, but that’s how I roll. Most natives seem to self seed and spread if anything more than I want them to, so my laziness wins out. I am sure you will find a use for the yuccas!

The red yuccas will likely be shared with neighbors. We can accommodate quite a few, but not this many.

I have a silly amount of Roselles in pots, but I am not quite up to 86! It just occurred to me how many Roselles I would get from 10 plants now I am looking for homes for them. The sugar cane is rad! did you get it from Florida?

Yes, actually. It is an heirloom variety that used to be prominent in Florida.

Plants for free! Your 86 red yuccas is going some though!

? I do not quite understand the second sentence of your comment. These items are not exactly free if I consider the effort that goes into growing them. I really need to be more selective.

Eighty-six Red Yuccas: Yes, you have quite a haul there! Love the foliage of the Pulmonaria. I enjoyed this creative “Six” post. 🙂

Pulmonaria will be more fun than all those red yucca. I got four colors of pulmonaria; pink, white, blue and purple.
