Description
The perfect choice for a desert style landscape, the Red Yucca prefers full sun, is drought resistant, and looks its best in a rock garden, as an accent piece or in a container you can keep on your porch if you live in less than desert-like areas. The tall, gorgeous spikes of the Red Yucca have deep pink flowers almost year-round on their tops, and the foliage is especially drought tolerant so it always looks green and full. With a moderate growth rate that allows this lovely evergreen cactus plant’s foliage to grow to a maximum size of 3-4 feet tall and wide with flower stalks that grow approximately 4-6 feet high, your gorgeous Red Yucca will surely add the perfect touch of color and elegance to your one of a kind landscape display.
Shipping & Returns
Shipping & Returns
Shipping:
Shipping live plants sometimes has its challenges when dealing with inclement weather but we strive to have every single order shipped out on their scheduled shipping date. Most orders will be scheduled to ship within 1-2 weeks of ordering. Because a plant needs TLC we only ship out on Mondays-Wednesdays to ensure the plants aren’t stationed somewhere over the weekend with no water or sunlight.
When to Ship:
We can ship out plants at anytime of the year pruned or not pruned, cold or not cold. Each plant’s durabilty is different so we recommend having them shipped in their designated season but we will still ship your plant to you earlier if you choose so.
Returns:
Because plants are perishable they cannot be returned without prior permission. We work hard to ensure all plants arrive healthy, but on rare occasions issues with the plant health upon delivery do arise.
Every single shipped plant is healthy upon departing our facility but if a plant is received in poor health contact us immediately so that we can assess the problem and work on saving the plant. We will first need a photo of the plant to start a claim. If we determine your plant cannot be recovered we will send you a replacement immediately. If notified of the plants health within 4 days we will send a replacement 100% free of charge.
If you determine the plant not to be healthy 4 days after delivery you can contact us and we will issue a 50% store credit.
30 days after delivery we cannot be held responsible for the current health of the plant.

Will red yucca winter in zone 6
Yes, Red Yucca (Hesperaloe parviflora) can survive the winter in USDA Zone 6 with some care. Red Yucca is generally hardy down to Zone 5, so it can handle the cold temperatures of Zone 6, but there are a few considerations to ensure it thrives.
Tips for Growing Red Yucca in Zone 6:
-
Winter Hardiness: Red Yucca is quite cold-tolerant and should survive typical Zone 6 winters. However, in areas with particularly harsh winters or poor drainage, it might need some protection.
-
Soil and Drainage: Red Yucca prefers well-drained soil. In areas where the soil remains wet during the winter, there's a risk of root rot. Amending the soil with sand or gravel to improve drainage can help prevent this issue.
-
Mulching: Applying a layer of mulch around the base of the plant in late fall can help protect the roots from extreme cold. However, be sure not to cover the crown of the plant, as this can lead to rot.
-
Site Selection: Plant Red Yucca in a sunny spot with good air circulation. This will help the plant stay dry and reduce the risk of cold damage.
-
Microclimate Consideration: If possible, plant Red Yucca in a location that benefits from some protection from the harshest winter winds, such as near a south-facing wall.
With these precautions, Red Yucca should survive and even thrive in Zone 6.
