    Hesperaloe 'Coral Glow' is a recently new introduction of High Country Gardens and is an exclusive HCG plant. This is another beautiful Hesperaloe plant to grow for its beauty, as well as for attracting hummingbirds. If it could be grown as a large container plant, I'd grow it, because I have wild rabbits year-round and they would regard it as another choice plant to munch in my yard.
