Red Yucca is a favorite for low-maintenance landscapes because it’s incredibly hardy and provides architectural interest without the sharp, needle-like tips found on many desert plants. It features narrow, arching, leathery leaves with distinct white "threads" or fibers curling along the edges. From late spring through mid-summer, it sends up tall spikes of coral or rose-red tubular flowers. These are major magnets for hummingbirds and butterflies.
