Commonly known as Red Yucca, Hesperaloe parviflora is a low-maintenance succulent known for its stunning flower display and slender, arching blue-grey foliage edged in curling white threads. Grows in grass-like clumps slowly spreading to 3 or 4 feet wide. 3 to 5 foot tall flower spikes bloom with bell-shaped, bright coral pink flowers , starting in spring and holding into summer. Flower color can be widely variable in hue and intensity. Flowers are highly attractive to hummingbirds. Its lack of armor and tolerance of reflected heat makes it good for walkways and near recreational areas. Also perfect for desert gardens and planted in large containers. Thrives in full sun and performs best with fast-draining soil.
