The Yellow-Flowering Red Yucca (Hesperaloe parviflora 'Yellow') is a rare color variant of the traditional Red Yucca, offering the same tough, drought-tolerant qualities but with striking yellow blooms instead of red. Just like its red-flowered counterpart, it thrives in full sun and well-drained soils, making it an excellent choice for Texas landscapes. This evergreen shrub forms an attractive clump of arching, blue-green foliage, and in warmer months, it sends up tall, 5-foot flower spikes that attract hummingbirds and pollinators.
This yellow-blooming selection retains the same hardy, low-maintenance characteristics as the standard Red Yucca, tolerating heat, drought, and poor soils, as well as being highly deer-resistant. It grows to about 2 to 3 feet tall and spreads 3 to 4 feet wide, making it ideal for xeriscaping, rock gardens, and mass plantings. It prefers alkaline to neutral soils and thrives in USDA Zones 5-11.
To preserve the purity of this yellow-blooming form, we have isolated these plants in a separate growing facility to prevent cross-pollination with traditional red-flowered Red Yucca. This ensures that they maintain their distinctive yellow color for future plantings.
For mass plantings, space them 3 to 4 feet apart for best results.
