If you’ve driven through North Texas lately, chances are you’ve seen vibrant coral-red flower spikes bursting into bloom along highways, medians, and in front of businesses. That showstopper? Red Yucca—a true Texas landscape star, and our pick for Plant of the Week!
This low-maintenance, drought-tolerant perennial thrives in our hot, dry climate and puts on a long-lasting floral display from late spring well into summer. Its bold blooms rise above graceful, arching foliage and provide constant color when many other plants are taking a break from the heat.
And it’s not just people who love Red Yucca—hummingbirds do too! These tubular red flowers are a magnet for pollinators, bringing energy and life to your garden all season long.
At maturity, Red Yucca forms a tidy clump of evergreen foliage about 3–4 feet tall and wide, with flower stalks that can reach up to 5 feet high. It performs beautifully in beds, borders, and even containers, and its year-round structure adds interest even when it’s not in bloom.
Whether you’re planting in a water-wise landscape, designing a native garden, or just want a fuss-free bloomer that can take the heat, Red Yucca is a must-have.
Come see us at Covington’s and add this blooming beauty to your landscape!
