Red Yucca

The Red Yucca is not actually a Yucca, is a must have for any Texas garden. It has long, thin, green leaves that sprout out of the ground resembling a green fountain. Originating from Texas, the Red Yucca is made to withstand the high heats of Texas summer and proves it by displaying beautiful bell shaped flowers during May through to October, which continuously rebloom. The Red Yucca is a great addition to rock gardens or any garden looking to add texture and color.
