Description
This graceful native of Texas and Mexico has arching, evergreen grass-like leaves with captivating curly white filaments. Tall spikes of brilliant rose-pink, yellow-throated tubular blossoms curve skyward with elegance and are an instant magnet for hummingbirds from early summer to autumn. Red yucca is virtually maintenance-free and perfectly xeric once established.
