QB, I will tell you how I do it. I learned it from
someone on the web and it has served me well.

Wet a paper towel, double it and squeeze out most of
the water. Put it in a Ziplok bag nice and flat.
Distribute the Hesperaloe seeds on top of the paper
towel about an inch or so apart. Zip it and put in a
warm and lighted place like a window. In a few weeks
each seed will have a white root and a green leaf.
Carefully remove each plant(Scissors can help to cut
the towel.) and plant in small pots in  wet potting
soil. Keep moist for a while and give them plenty of
indirect sun. In about a year they will be big enough
so you can safely put them in the ground.
