Hesperaloe parviflora (aka red yucca) puts on a delicious feast of color for dry gardens, with waxy tubular flowers that are coral-red on the outside and yellow inside, reminiscent of Aloe flowers. The long, narrow, blue-green leaves have deep grooves and white fibers along the edges. The ornamental evergreen foliage may blush slightly purple or reddish-bronze during chilly temperatures. Its clusters of flowers are borne on red stalks that go all the way up to 5 ft. or 6 ft. high. Use red yucca as an ornamental highlight in desert landscapes, rock gardens or perennial gardens, or on hillsides. This evergreen perennial succulent is heat-loving, drought tolerant and tolerant of cold down to zero F when established. Grows to 3 ft. to 4 ft. high and 2 ft. to 4 ft. W. Grows and flowers best in full sun. Adaptable to various soils but thrives in poor soils. Flowers Summer to Fall. Hardy to Zone 7a/0°F. Plant at least 3 ft. apart. For best performance, cut back every year in Spring after the last hard frost of season. Grows to 3 ft. to 4 ft. H and wide.
