Yucca filamentosa 'Color Guard'

Color Guard Yucca

Variegated Yucca filamentosa adds color to drought-tolerant planting sites with upright, dark green, and creamy white leaves. 

A 6 ft. flowering stalk rises above 2-3 ft. high clumps of erect, dagger-like, leaves. Tall stalks of cream-colored, bell-shaped flowers rise above the leaves and are followed by persistent seed pods. Flowers attract pollinators and hummingbirds.

Use as an accent, in containers, mass plantings, and in xeriscape areas.
