Red Yucca
The Red Yucca, scientifically known as Hesperaloe parviflora, is a striking succulent renowned for its ornamental and resilient qualities. Despite its common name, Red Yucca is not a true yucca but belongs to the agave family. This plant forms clumps of arching, sword-like leaves that are typically blue-green, and in some varieties, they may have reddish or coppery tones. Red Yucca gets its name from the tall flower spikes that emerge from the center of the rosette, bearing tubular, coral-red to orange flowers. Drought-tolerant and adaptable, Red Yucca is well-suited for arid landscapes, xeriscaping, and contemporary gardens. Its low-maintenance nature, resistance to pests, and ability to attract hummingbirds make it a popular choice for gardeners seeking a resilient and visually appealing plant.
