Add a striking architectural element and a touch of the Southwest to your garden with the Red Yucca! This unique evergreen succulent forms a dramatic rosette of long, slender, gray-green leaves with distinctive curly white fibers along the margins. In late spring to summer, tall flower stalks emerge, adorned with pendulous, bell-shaped flowers that range in color from coral-red to deep pink, attracting hummingbirds to your landscape.

Typically growing to 2-4 feet tall (in bloom) and 2-3 feet wide, it’s a fantastic choice for water-wise gardens, rock gardens, or as a bold accent plant. Red Yucca thrives in full sun and is exceptionally drought-tolerant, perfectly suited for the drier conditions of Prescott, Arizona. It’s also wonderfully deer resistant.

For the best establishment and to ensure excellent drainage, plant your Red Yucca in well-draining soil amended with Watters Premium Mulch to help retain some moisture while preventing root rot and suppressing weeds. A single application of 7-4-4 All-Purpose Plant Food in the early spring will provide the necessary nutrients for healthy growth and those stunning flower stalks. Embrace the unique beauty and resilience of this Southwestern native in your garden! #RedYucca #SouthwesternPlant #DroughtTolerant #DeerResistant #HummingbirdGarden
