Nursery contributed plant descriptions

This is a wonderful variation of Hesperaloe, the spring-summer flowers on this variety are an appealing soft-yellow. This makes it a real eye catcher in the garden, especially when planted with its coral-red cousins. Its yucca-like strap foliage makes a nice clump 3-4' topped by 5-6' flower clusters. S-PSh/M/GDr

A selection from Ron Gass at Mountain States Nursery in Glendale, Arizona, this form is typical of H. parviflora in its 3-4' rosettes and 5-6' flower stalks but with canary yellow flowers. A very pretty and unusual selection and most attractive when combined in single plantings with the coral-orange flowered forms. Full sun to part shade with little summer water. An easy grower, frost hardy in USDA zone 6.
