Red Yucca
Hesperaloe parvifolia
Hesperaloe parviflora, commonly known as Red Yucca, is a striking, evergreen perennial prized for its tall spikes of rosy-pink, tubular flowers and its fountain-like clumps of narrow, leathery, gray-green leaves edged with curling white fibers . Native to the Chihuahuan Desert of Texas and northeastern Mexico, this drought-tolerant succulent forms a dense, spineless rosette that provides bold, architectural interest in the landscape . From late spring through summer, and often into fall, it produces branching stalks bearing an abundance of bell-shaped, hummingbird-attracting flowers in deep rose-pink to coral-red, opening sequentially from the bottom up . Exceptionally heat and cold tolerant, deer and rabbit resistant, and low-maintenance, it is an outstanding choice for xeriscape gardens, rock gardens, desert landscapes, mass plantings, and large containers .
