Color Guard Yucca 1 Live Plant – 2 Gallon Pot – Yucca filamentosa 'Color Guard'

Color Guard Yucca (Yucca filamentosa 'Color Guard'), also known as Variegated Adam's Needle, is an evergreen ornamental perennial valued for its striking golden-yellow and green foliage, architectural growth habit, and excellent drought tolerance once established. Its sword-shaped leaves feature broad yellow centers with contrasting green margins, creating a bold, variegated appearance throughout the year.

The plant develops a dense, symmetrical rosette of narrow, pointed leaves with distinctive curling filaments along their edges. During cooler weather, the golden centers may develop pink or rosy tones, adding seasonal color. Established plants may produce tall flower stalks bearing clusters of creamy-white, bell-shaped blossoms during late spring or summer. Flowering depends on plant maturity and growing conditions and is not guaranteed on young specimens.

Color Guard Yucca generally performs best in full sun and well-drained soil. It tolerates sandy, gravelly, and relatively dry soil conditions once established. Its evergreen foliage and distinctive form make it suitable for rock gardens, gravel gardens, xeriscapes, sunny borders, and architectural container plantings.
