Maintenance Tips

Hesperaloe parviflora is a grass-like succulent that is also known as Red Yucca. The arching, sword-like leaves grow 2-3' tall in a tuft about 3' across. The flower spikes are coral-red and stand up to 6' tall in the spring. In mild climates, the flowers can continue through the fall. This is a very low-maintenance plant that will look and perform its best when planted in very well-drained soil in a sunny location. If it is given the space it needs to reach its mature size, there should be no reason to prune the foliage. To keep the plant looking tidy, you can remove the spent blooms and remove old leaves that collect under the foliage.

Once established, it requires little care. It is susceptible to mealy bugs and root rot if it receives too much water. It grows to 18"-24" tall and wide. It looks great in mass plantings.
