Heat-loving, blooming in Summer? I'll do just about anything to make you happy. I'm pleasing my "red" yucca enough: It's in bloom!
"Red" yucca though? Come on, guys: take a look: The flowers are, clearly, pink at best, salmon at worst.

Whatever the hue, Red Yucca's in bloom in high Summer, so in my book, it's in.

Hesperaloe parviflora is a Southwest native, and is so happy about the home-town heat and drought there that it can be planted in unirrigated highway medians. Imagine the months of pitiless radiant heat from the paving, the completely lack of shade in that planting strip down the center of the road. And no rain for a month and more at a time.

To which Red Yucca says "Bring It On!"

The challenge with growing it in this comparatively wet and clammy New England climate is maximizing the heat and sun, such as it is, and minimizing the rot-inducing potential of all that rain.
Growing in a container is one solution. Plus keeping the pots completely dry and in a cool greenhouse all Winter.

If I had a garden that wasn't perfectly flat and with deep rich soil (sob, sob), I'd experiment with growing Red Yucca in a sloping gravel or sand bed. Or I could create yet another trough.

Red Yucca is really hardy if the Winter drainage is good enough; in higher-elevation and more northerly Southwest locales, it grows even in Zone 5. Back East that would be southern Vermont, just without the precipitation.

Red Yucca is even more on my mind since High Country Gardens came out with a yellow-flowered variety.
Now I can have a pot of "red" yucca anywhere outside of the pink garden, let alone the "red" garden. I'll post when it blooms—next Summer maybe?
