Details
Yucca filamentosa 'Color Guard' is a tough-as-nails plant that is ideal for a no-maintenance garden. The sword-like foliage radiates upward from a central crown, remaining upright all year round except in the heaviest snows. Yucca filamentosa 'Color Guard' bears bright creamy-yellow leaves with green edges, resembling agave leaves without the sawtooth edges. From early to midsummer, spectacular sturdy flower stalks rise 3-4 feet tall from the center of the plant. The individual bell-shaped flowers are 2-3 inches long and dangle from the stems like earrings.
