Description
Found this Red Yucca during a nice sunset,
Hesperaloe parviflora, also known as red yucca, hummingbird yucca, redflower false yucca and samandoque, is a plant that is native to Chihuahuan desert of west Texas east and south into central and south Texas and northeastern Mexico around Coahuila.
It has narrow evergreen leaves with a fringe of white threadlike hairs along their edges, and grows in clumps 3β6 ft (0.91β1.83 m) high and wide. Red or yellow tubular flowers are borne on branching flower stalks (inflorescences) up to 5 ft (1.5 m) tall from late spring to mid-summer.
This species has become popular in xeriscape landscape design for public and private gardens in California and the Southwestern United States. The plant's qualities include drought tolerance, heat resistance, low maintenance needs, hummingbird attracting flowers,[5] and an architectural form. It is also a spineless alternative to Agave and Yucca horticultural species.
