Red yucca is a robust, stemless succulent forming clumps of arching blue-green leaves that can grow 3 to 4 feet (91 to 122 cm) tall and spread wider. The foliage possesses white fibrous edges and may exhibit a purple tint in cold temperatures. From late spring to mid-summer, it showcases tall, arching red stalks up to 5 feet (152 cm) high, adorned with clusters of rose-pink tubular flowers, attracting hummingbirds. This plant's leaves are unarmed, which makes them a potential deer attractant.
