Highlights
Yucca 'Color Guard' is a striking, architectural evergreen perennial that commands attention with its sword-like leaves boldly striped with creamy yellow centers and green margins. During cooler months, the foliage often takes on subtle pink or rose tones, adding seasonal interest to its already vibrant display. This drought-tolerant, deer-resistant plant thrives in full sun and well-draining soil, making it an excellent choice for xeriscapes, modern landscapes, or container plantings. In summer, mature plants may produce tall spikes of fragrant, bell-shaped white flowers, adding vertical drama and attracting pollinators. With its bold color, dramatic form, and low-maintenance nature, 'Color Guard' is a standout accent for any sun-drenched garden.
Yucca need plenty of full, outdoor sunlight and great drainage to thrive. They do well in gritty, mineral soils and pots with drainage holes. Over time you'll see new offshoots sprout up around the base of the mother plant.
Yucca grow slowly in the spring and summer and can tolerate high heat and extended drought. This variety is frost hardy and will happily overwinter under an insulating blanket of snow. Protect from heavy rains and standing water to prevent rot.
