Tall stalks appear from the center of the plant, where blooms of bright red flowers can be enjoyed from spring into summer!

How To Plant Redflower False Yucca
The Redflower False Yucca is fairly simple to grow. Requiring locations that provide full sun, the Redflower False Yucca can also thrive in areas that offer partial shade. When considering soil preference, this shrub is capable of growing in loam, sand, shallow rocky locations, and normal garden soils - simply as long as they offer well draining qualities. These shrubs are low maintenance with a medium growth rate and can grow in either containers or planted in the ground.
How To Water
We recommend watering your Redflower False Yucca at least twice a week until your plant is established. Once establishment occurs, you may reduce the amount of water needed to once a week. We do recommend watering during periods of inclement weather such as high heat or drought. Keep in mind plants grown in containers will require more water even after established compared to those grown in the ground.
How To Fertilize
When considering the feeding process for the Redflower False Yucca, it's simple and easy to do. At the time of planting, start the application process by adding fertilizer to the planting site, this is considered the first feeding. These plants are not heavy feeders, so one application a year will do just fine. In locations where winters are warmer and dormancy does not occur, you will still maintain feeding once a year for the best growth possible.
How To Prune
The Redflower False Yucca is easy to care for when considering maintenance. Simply remove any dead or damaged foliage to create a clean and tidy appearance. The flower spikes should also be removed at the base to make way for new growth. To control the ability this plant has to spread, cut the seed pods while they are still green before they have the chance to dry and spread.

How Does Sizing Work?
The size of our trees have nothing to do with the container size like you may find elsewhere–big doesn't mean just height - it’s also vigor, age, and overall health. Other online retailers are going to tell you that a plant is a seven gallon, that means nothing to your tree or plant (or you.)
Our trees for sale online are graded on large, x-large, and even bigger sizes. This is because our trees are sized by their age—the higher the letter, the more mature the tree. The age determines the trees’ overall height, size of the trunk and the overall branch density.
All of these characteristics are what you should be looking for when choosing a tree for immediate impact and instant curb appeal. Our extra-large tree and plant sizes are sure to wow you and your neighbors!
