About This Item
Red yucca, a versatile and tough native Texas succulent, was named the newest Texas Superstar plant. Red Yucca is a member of the century plant family and is native to the deserts of Texas and northeastern Mexico.
Plant leaves are thicker than those of other yuccas, but more sword-shaped than aloe. Red yuccas’ dark green leaves arise from a slowly suckering clump forming a cluster of rosettes. Flowers are typically 4 - 5 inch pale pink spikes or narrow sparsely branched panicles of coral or salmon-pink. Rarely they are red or yellow, 1 - 2 inch tubular flowers with trumpet-shaped flared tips
It thrives in hot, dry desert conditions and is easily grown in well-drained sand, loam, caliche, and limestone soils. Red yucca is a sun-loving plant, but can survive in partial shade, though blooms will be reduced. The native plant resembles a cross between other common spine-pointed yuccas and aloe.
Superior soil drainage is essential to growing this plant. It is heat and drought tolerant and is a favorite of hummingbirds with its red, tubular flowers. Use this plant in rock gardens and desert gardens. It can also be planted in large containers. They are also excellent pollinator support plants and an attractive addition to any pollinator garden.
It is an obvious choice for rock gardens and xeriscape landscaping. Red yucca makes a nice accent or small-scale groundcover beneath mesquite, paloverde or other trees with light filtered shade. The lack of sharp points on the leaves, hence its alternate name of soft-leaf yucca, makes red yucca suitable for use where pedestrian traffic may contact it.
