Yucca Red
Hesperaloe parviflora (Red Yucca)Yucca Red is a visually striking ornamental plant known for its narrow, sword-like leaves accented with rich red or burgundy margins. The colorful foliage creates a bold architectural statement, making it a popular choice for contemporary landscapes, desert gardens, and accent plantings. Its evergreen form provides year-round interest and pairs beautifully with gravel, stone, and other drought-tolerant plants.
Highly adaptable and resilient, Yucca Red thrives in hot, sunny conditions and requires very little ongoing care once established. It is an excellent option for water-wise landscaping and performs equally well in garden beds or decorative containers. With its upright growth habit and vivid coloration, it adds texture, contrast, and drama to outdoor spaces without demanding constant attention.
Care Instructions
Planting:
Plant in full sun to enhance red coloration. Allow enough space for mature growth and proper air circulation.
Watering:
Water sparingly. After establishment, it prefers infrequent deep watering and tolerates drought well.
Pruning:
Trim away dead or damaged leaves near the base to keep the plant tidy and encourage healthy growth.
Pest Control:
Rarely affected by pests. Inspect occasionally for scale or mites and treat promptly with appropriate controls.
Soil Tips:
Ensure fast-draining soil. Sandy or rocky soils work best; avoid heavy clay or overly moist conditions to prevent root issues.
