false yucca

Overview

False yucca (Hesperaloe parviflora (yellow form)) is a stunning evergreen perennial native to the Southwestern United States. It produces sword-like leaves, up to two meters in length, which are a beautiful yellow-green color. In late spring, this plant blooms with bright yellow flowers that attract hummingbirds and other pollinators. False yucca is drought tolerant and is perfect for use in waterwise landscapes, particularly in dry and sandy soils. Although this species is hardy in most climates, it requires well-draining soil, full sun exposure, and occasional pruning to keep it looking its best.
