Hesperaloe parviflora (Red Yucca)

Red Yucca is a tough plant made for harsh Texas weather. It is evergreen and has long slender leaves and tall red flower spikes. With time it creates a large clump, so give it room to grow, although it can be divided if needed. Red Yucca is very heat and drought tolerant and, with good drainage, needs little attention or supplemental irrigation once established. Its flowers attract moths, hummingbirds, and deer, although deer do leave the Red Yucca leaves alone.    AT A GLANCE Texas native Yes Water use Low Sun exposure Full sun, part sun Bloom color Red Bloom time Spring Mature height 3-5 ft Mature spread 3-6 ft Evergreen  Yes Attracts Hummingbirds, moths Deer resistant Yes, except blooms   DISTRIBUTION MAPS  USDA MAP BONAP MAP  Present in state  Present in county and native  Native to North America, but adventive & escaped in state           Not present in state  Present and rare, native in county  Previously present, now extinct  Questionable presence (cross-hatched, regardless of color)
