Red Yucca

Hesperaloe parviflora


I like having room to spread out—my leaves and flower spikes fill the space and catch the sun without bumping into anyone.


Wisteria swings its fancy flowers nearby, but I’ve got my own patch. Plenty of room for both of us to do our thing.


Hot days, dry spells, or the occasional cold snap—I keep going. I bloom here and there through most of the year, steady and low-maintenance.
