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®.
