Red Yucca | Hesperaloe parviflora

The red yucca (Hesperaloe parviflora) is a tough, low-maintenance perennial that brings both structure and color to dry landscapes. Despite the name, it's not a true yucca—its soft, arching, grass-like leaves are spineless and more flexible, making it safe for walkways and patios.

From late spring through fall, tall flower spikes emerge bearing clusters of coral-red to deep pink tubular flowers that attract hummingbirds and pollinators in droves. Red Yucca is highly heat- and drought-tolerant, making it perfect for xeriscapes, rock gardens, and container planting in hot climates. Its evergreen foliage adds texture year-round and thrives in tough conditions with minimal care.

Available in quart-size containers. Free shipping included.
