Hesperaloe
Texas Red Yucca
Hesperaloe parviflora, also known as red yucca, hummingbird yucca, redflower false yucca and samandoque, is a plant that is native to the Chihuahuan desert of west Texas. It can be found in northeastern Mexico around Coahuila and central and southern Texas.
This species has become popular in xeriscape landscape design for public and private gardens in the Southwestern United States. The plant's qualities include drought tolerance, heat resistance, low maintenance needs, hummingbird attracting flowers, and an architectural form. It also is a spineless alternative to Agave and Yucca horticultural species.
