Hesperaloe parviflora 'Desert Dusk'
Desert Dusk Red Yucca produces impressive spikes of burgundy, bell-shaped flowers with gold centers that appear above the foliage from early to late spring. Its attractive, succulent, grassy leaves are grayish-green, and they often turn burgundy in the fall. In late fall, it produces khaki (brownish-green) capsules.
This herbaceous evergreen perennial's shapely form and gracefully arching foliage add delicate texture to garden compositions. It is suitable for planter containers or a waterwise garden bed.
This plant requires relatively low maintenance and is best cleaned up in early spring before it starts active growth. It is an excellent choice for attracting hummingbirds to your yard.

Spring Shipping:
Orders are shipped within 7-10 business days. We will email you if there are expected delays.
When you order plants from our nursery, you can expect them to arrive in the best possible condition. Our team carefully packs each order using sturdy, biodegradable packaging materials.
Your plants' appearance may vary depending on the season and their current growth stage. We may cut back the leafy growth of some plants to prepare them for shipment and transplanting.
5 Gallon and Up: Any plant purchased to ship over 5 Gallons will be shipped bare root. This means we will remove the plant from its original pot, remove the soil surrounding the roots, and wrap the roots with a biodegradable plastic bag. This reduces weight and the likelihood of damage during shipping.
Once your plants arrive, it is essential to plant them as soon as possible. This will help them rebound and thrive. If you cannot plant immediately, water regularly and keep the roots off heat-conducting surfaces.
Newly transplanted plants often require more water until their roots are well established. Plan to water them 1-3 times weekly for the first few months.
