This red yucca is now in bloom. The flower is from an eight year old plant. This year it has sent up seven, 4' tall flower stalks. Its biggest production was nine stalks a few years back after a Truckee River flooding winter in Reno. Our recent spring had good water so seven stalks is expected.
This beautiful yucca enjoys a well drained soil in a sunny location, preferably with a southern exposure. When young, it transplants easily and is perfect for rock gardens and xeric landscapes. It also works well as a bush, offering an interesting contrast to an otherwise conventional garden layout.
Certainly, if you like the desert look, this yucca, with its long lasting flowers in the summer and its interesting foliage in the winter snow, will give you enjoyment for years to come.
We have several varieties of yucca, euphorbias and cacti. Come in and see what we have.
