Hesperaole parviflora Desert Flamenco®

Desert Flamenco® Red Yucca

Desert Flamenco® is an exciting new

introduction from the Hesperaloe breeding

program here at Mountain States. This

compact selection’s grey-green rosette of

leaves top out at 30” tall and wide.

Compared to regular Red Yucca, this plant

displays loads of side branching on the

flower spikes creating waterfalls of showy,

tubular, pinkish-orange flowers. It produces

very little seed which allows for an

extended bloom time from spring all the

way through the fall. This tough plant

thrives in full sun, reflected heat, and even

tolerates some light shade if drainage is

adequate. As with all Hesperaloes,

hummingbirds are drawn to the nectar-rich

blossoms. Plant these in masses to really

see the delightful dancer that is Desert

Flamenco®.
