Spring is here and it's a great time for planting!
It's also a busy time and sometimes we ship faster than we can update our website.
So if we are out of a product, we will contact you and ask for a substitution.
This doesn't happen very often.
It helps though if you add your phone number to the notes section of your order.

Hesperaloe - red yucca
| Hesperaloes are not aloes at all. They are in the Agavaceae family. They originate in Chihuahuan desert: Texas, northeastern Mexico. They like full sun. Although they are drought tolerant, they like water in summer. They will grow to about 3 feet in height and 6' in width. They are perennials which can be propagated by division or seeds. This is one of the little-known native gems from the Southwest US that is completely adaptable to most of the moist eastern US as well. Hesperaloe resembles a yucca but is a little more socially acceptable (safer around kids and bending gardeners) because it was born without spines. The thick upright-growing, blue-green foliage makes a nice clump, especially from May through July, when it is topped with 40" spikes of rich salmon-pink flowers in late summer...a truly wonderful plant, especially in mass plantings. While hesperaloe is very easy to grow, it will perform much better in very dry soils | |
