Our Favorite: Red Yucca - Hesperaloe parviflora
|
|
This is a truly spectacular yucca-like plant that sends out stalks covered with coral-red blooms (there's a yellow cultivar, too) from late spring to fall. Even the
stalks are colored! And the evergreen, grass-like clumps of foliage peek through the snow all winter long. No pruning required but give it plenty of room. It will spread by "pups" that can be separated from the main plant in the fall. |
