Hesperaloe parviflora - Red Yucca

Market price from $6.70 to $24.25

Hesperaloe parviflora is a spectacular evergreen succulent, most commonly known as Red Yucca. This architectural beauty hails from the Agavaceae family, showcasing slender, leathery blue-green leaves that can soar up to four feet high and stretch across a six-foot radius. As spring warms into summer, keep an eye out for the tall, arching stalks dotted with tubular, coral-red to yellow flowers that rise majestically above the foliage. Distinctive and captivating, the Red Yucca is more than just a show-stopper—it’s a resilient plant with high drought tolerance and an ability to thrive in water-wise gardens, desert landscapes, and modern architecture. It's low on maintenance, preferring full sun to light shade and well-draining soil. Plus, these plants are a magnet for local wildlife – hummingbirds and butterflies, in particular, are drawn to their nectar-rich flowers. Despite its name, it's not truly a Yucca, but this hardy perennial stands unmatched for its ability to add textural appeal and a splash of color to your outdoor space. USDA hardiness Zones 5-10.
