Hesperaloe parviflora
A clumping, grass-leaved succulent (red yucca) from the rocky limestone hills of central and west Texas and Coahuila, with tall stalks of coral-red flowers. It is very tough: full sun, heat, drought and hard frost are all fine, as long as the roots drain well.
Where it grows wild
Grows on rocky limestone slopes, canyon sides and open grassland or shrubland, in full sun.
Records range from 8 to 2,240 m with a median around 240 m; wild populations are mainly on the Edwards Plateau and in Coahuila at a few hundred to over 1,000 m.
