The Story
'Color Guard' Yucca presents with an elegance most wouldn’t expect from a Yucca. Plants bear strap-like leaves from a central point, each leaf bearing a soft gold stripe down its middle and fine, curling filaments that soften its clean edges. This gives the selection a poise that can elevate formal and informal designs alike.
Particularly impactful in the morning and evening when the gold-variegation seems to glow, consider pairing this plant with soft grasses or xeric perennials in a low-maintenance waterwise planting, where its architectural form creates a sense of scale and contrast that keeps beds interesting all year long. Color Guard Yucca are especially striking visually if used several places in a design, ideally in clusters, and can be counted on to produce tall spikes of bell-like, white flowers in early summer. Since this plant does well with salty soils, drought, and heat, it can make an excellent hellstrip or seaside plant. It does well with light afternoon shade in especially hot regions.
