YUCCA FIL COLOR GUARD

YUCCA FIL COLOR GUARD
Grower Notes:

Yucca filamentosa 'Color Guard' is commonly referred to as Color Guard Yucca or Color Guard Adam's Needle. This showy ornamental evergreen shrub features rigid, sword-shaped, spine-tipped leaves that have green margins and striking creamy gold centers. In late spring a 5-8' tall flowering stalk rises from the center bearing a long terminal panicle of bell-shaped, fragrant, creamy white flowers that last for weeks. Propagation is easy with basal offsets that form throughout the growing season.

Color Guard Yucca thrives in average, well-drained soils in full sun. It is quite tolerant of poor soils, heat, drought and salt spray. It is ideal for dry slopes and garden areas and works well in containers.
