Hesperaloe parviflora is a striking, drought-resistant perennial known for its arching, coral-colored flower spikes and evergreen, yucca-like foliage. Commonly called Red Yucca, this member of the Century Plant family is not a true yucca but shares its resilience and architectural form. Its 2-3 foot-long, blue-green leaves form a dense rosette, turning a deep plum color in winter. In spring and summer, tall, 5-foot flower stalks emerge, bearing tubular red or yellow blooms that attract hummingbirds and night-pollinating moths. Thriving in dry, well-drained soils, Red Yucca is highly adaptable to rocky slopes, prairies, and desert landscapes. Its foliage is deer-resistant, though flower stalks may be browsed. Ideal for rock gardens, xeriscaping, and container planting, this low-maintenance plant provides year-round ornamental appeal.
