Growth Rate

Growth Rate: Grows at a moderate pace, typically reaching a height of about 3 to 4 feet, with a spread of around 2 to 3 feet. This makes it an excellent choice for xeriscaping, desert gardens, or as a colorful accent plant in landscapes.

Watering & Sunlight

Watering: Red Yucca thrives in well-drained, sandy or rocky soil and is highly drought-tolerant once established. It requires minimal watering once its root system is well-developed, as it prefers dry conditions. However, it will benefit from occasional watering during particularly dry spells or in its early growth stages. It's important to avoid overwatering, as the plant is prone to root rot in soggy soil.

Sunlight: For optimal growth, Red Yucca needs full sun. It thrives in hot, sunny locations where it can produce its signature bright flowers and maintain its upright, arching foliage. In shadier spots, it may still grow but might not flower as abundantly or reach its full potential. Minimal maintenance is required, but cutting back spent flower stalks and trimming damaged leaves can help keep the plant looking tidy.
