Yucca filamentosa 'Color Guard'
Scientific Name: Yucca filamentosa ‘Color Guard’
Yucca ‘Color Guard’ is a bold evergreen perennial prized for its striking variegated foliage and dramatic architectural form. Its sword-shaped leaves feature bright golden-yellow centers with deep green margins, creating year-round color and texture in the landscape.
During summer, tall flower spikes rise above the foliage displaying clusters of creamy white bell-shaped blooms that attract pollinators and add impressive vertical interest. In cooler weather, the foliage often develops attractive pink or rose-colored highlights.
Extremely drought tolerant and low maintenance once established, ‘Color Guard’ is perfect for xeriscaping, rock gardens, borders, containers, and sunny landscape beds.
