5 Seeds Red Yucca Hesperaloe parviflora Drought Tolerant Flowering Plant

Red Yucca (Hesperaloe parviflora) is a clump-forming perennial appreciated for its arching, blue-green foliage and tall summer spikes of coral-red tubular flowers. It brings a sculptural, desert-garden look to beds, borders, and xeriscapes, and its long bloom season offers steady seasonal interest. Though called a yucca, it is actually more closely related to hymenocallis and forms a tidy, slowly spreading rosette.
Use it as a focal accent in dry borders, rock gardens, or large containers, where its upright flower stalks add vertical drama. The blossoms are attractive to hummingbirds, and the sturdy leaves provide structure through much of the year. It pairs well with other drought-tolerant perennials and ornamental grasses. Allow spent flower stalks to dry if seed collection is desired, or trim them back for a cleaner look.
