Red Yucca

Hesperaloe parviflora

Red Yucca (not actually a yucca) is the unsung hero of xeriscape design — long arching leaves with coral flower spikes that bloom for months and attract hummingbirds like magnets. It's cold hardy to zone 5, virtually indestructible, and looks great year-round. One of the best plants for hot, dry landscapes.

Care Guide

Plant in full sun with well-drained soil. Virtually zero water once established. Remove spent flower stalks when they brown. Divide clumps every 5-10 years. No fertilizer needed. One of the lowest maintenance plants you can grow.
