Re: Hesperaloe parviflora

To judge from their ubiquity in central TX medians, they will want as much heat as you can give them and some supplemental summer water on the West coast.

According to the aggies, they do well throughout TX, suggesting that they are very adaptable to rainfall variation:

Anything that will grow in Houston and El Paso is pretty tough.

I just purchased one too. I'm guessing that with sharp drainage on a south facing slope it will survive here in Oregon. I will need to protect it from the copious rains here over the winter though I imagine. Mine will be planted under a covered walkway.

Just purchased a one gallon Hesperaloe parviflora - have never
grown this one - any pointers?
an internet picture showed red flowers - I might go back and get
several and put them in a group.
