Color Guard Adam’s Needle Live Plant – 1-Gallon Pot – Yucca filamentosa 'Color Guard'

Color Guard Adam’s Needle (Yucca filamentosa 'Color Guard') is an evergreen ornamental perennial recognized for its bold, sword-shaped variegated foliage. Its contrasting green and yellow-toned leaves create strong architectural interest throughout the landscape. This listing is for a live Color Guard Yucca growing in a 1-gallon nursery pot.

Its clumping, rosette-forming habit makes Color Guard Adam’s Needle well suited to sunny borders, rock gardens, xeriscape-style landscapes, foundation plantings, and large containers. Established plants are adapted to relatively dry conditions when provided with freely draining soil.

Color Guard Adam’s Needle performs best in full sun to partial sun and requires good drainage. Avoid persistently wet or waterlogged soil, particularly during cooler conditions.
