Shrubs - Yucca - Red

Ubiquitous desert accent plant for summer color. This is one of the most common landscape plants across the southwest, due to its durability, design flexibility, and reliable summer color. Gray, grasslike unarmed leaves arch from a central base to form a medium to large sized clump. They tolerate high heat, and require little to no supplemental water once established, although most are put onto drip irrigation systems. Starting in spring plants will form flower stalks that grow above the foliage of bright pink to red color. Pollinated flowers form tan to dark brown solid lantern-looking seed pods that are also ornamental.
