MBN 1Gal Hesperaloe parviflora

Not a yucca, but looks like one, and the narrow flower buds and spikes are indeed light red. The V-shaped, blue green leaves form a clump to about 3' tall, spreading at the top to 4' or more across with age. Leaf margins have attractive, curly white fibers which peel away from the edges but remain attached for a long time. The coral red central flower stalk reaches 4-5' tall, appears in summer after plants mature, flower petals themselves are yellow to light apricot in color. This plant is generally somewhat sparse and open, but that is part of the attraction, along with being spineless. Seems to grow well in cool climates but it is slower there than with summer heat, and it does very well in the hottest, desert-like conditions. Good drainage is all that's needed, along with infrequent irrigation where summers are long and severe. Great in containers for porches, patios. USDA zone 5.
