 Hesperaloe parvifolia
Red Yucca is a Texas Native Plant seen in the western portions of the
Edwards Plateau. Hesperaloe parvifolia is not a true Yucca although it
does look very similar to Yucca and can be used in the landscape in the
same ways. Red Yucca has thick sword shaped recurved gray-green
foliage. The plant itself only reach 2-3 feet in height but the bloom
can reach up to 5 feet in height. Red Yucca blooms starting spring and
keeps going until early fall. The flowers are more pink or salmon in
color, these are borne on tall spikes, are tubular in shape and do a
great job of attracting hummingbirds and butterflies into the garden.
