Hesperaloe parviflora is a succulent with a clumping, upright, fountain-like habit and featuring arching blue-green sword-like leaves and tall spikes of coral-red tubular flowers. Uses include mass planting, focal point, container, border, edging, informal screen/hedge, erosion control. Thrives in desert conditions, tolerates intermountain conditions, and adapts well to seacoast conditions. It is best in full sun; tolerates light shade but will produce fewer flowers.
