PERFU Pink Parade® Red Yucca

Pink Parade® is the trade name for cultivar ‘PERFU’, a Hesperaloe hybrid formed from Hesperaloe funifera and Hesperaloe parviflora. It forms an upright clump of bright green, straplike foliage, with tall flower stalks rising well above the leaves and requiring vertical clearance under eaves. ## Form and Flower The plant patent describes a foliage clump about 3–4 feet tall and wide with branched flower stalks reaching roughly 8 feet. A Utah garden reference records pink-to-coral flowers in summer, typically June through August, and notes that the foliage may redden as temperatures cool. See the [Perfu plant patent](https://patents.google.com/patent/USPP21728P2/en) and [Conservation Garden Park profile](https://conservationgardenpark.jvwcd.gov/plants/1727/pink-parade-yucca). ## Siting and Care Give the clump full sun and room for its tall stalks. The selection is used in hot, dry gardens and is rated for low irrigation once established; water new plants regularly while roots settle, then extend intervals as growth allows. Published hardiness listings vary slightly by source, with Zone 6 or 7 at the lower end, so use the local garden’s cold exposure when siting it. ## Landscape Use Place it where the high flower stems can be seen above low plantings or along a sunny walk. Its pink summer flowers attract hummingbirds and add a vertical accent to gravel and waterwise gardens. ## Maintenance Remove spent stalks after the flowering display and trim only damaged or dry leaves. Keep the sharp leaf tips away from narrow paths.
