Notes
'Stop Lights' false yucca (Hesperaloe parviflora 'Stop Lights') is a perennial for pollinator gardens, specimen planting, and rock gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 6, or down to -10°F (-23°C). This plant likes full or part sun and dry to average, sandy or loamy soil. Deer rarely make it their first choice. Its arching form adds winter interest, and it blooms in spring and summer. Butterflies, hummingbirds, bees, and birds visit the flowers.
Pairs well with Karl Foerster feather reed grass, California poppy, and Ice plant.
