Plant of The Week -Red yucca (Hesperaloe parviflora)

Red yucca (Hesperaloe parviflora) is a striking, drought-tolerant. Prized for its graceful, grass-like foliage and long-lasting stalks of tubular, coral-red flowers that attract hummingbirds and add architectural interest to landscapes from late spring through fall. Its clumping habit and narrow, leathery leaves create a low-maintenance, textural focal point ideal for xeriscapes, borders, rock gardens, and large containers.

Available in several forms red yucca thrives in full sun and well-draining soil. Once established it requires minimal water, tolerates heat and prefers low-humidity conditions; occasional pruning of spent flower stalks and removal of older leaves keeps clumps tidy and vigorous.
