Red Yucca - Post Winter

I live in Northern Utah and have 3 Red Yuccas (Hesperaloe parviflora). They all receive full sun and have been in the ground for almost a year. They thrived last year but are looking pretty shabby after coming out of winter. We are still getting snow on and off but nothing that stays for longer than a day. I'm wondering how robust these plants are. Whether or not they usually make a full recovery after winter in an area that receives regular amounts of snow. Also, if there is anything I need to do to insure their recovery this spring.

    Hesperaloe are definitely more tender than true Yuccas. Some are supposedly rated as hardy down to Zone 5, but honestly I've only seen them vigorous in zones 7+. Lower than Zone 7, I'd make sure it's located in a place that gets a lot of winter sun, and preferably a spot where the snow melts off and the ground dries quickly.
