Yucca filamentosa ‘Color Guard’ is a striking evergreen perennial with rigid, lance-shaped leaves featuring creamy yellow centers edged in rich green. In cooler months, the yellow tones can blush pink for added seasonal interest. It forms a tidy rosette 2 to 3 feet tall and wide, and in summer, tall spikes of bell-shaped white flowers rise dramatically above the foliage. This drought-tolerant, heat-loving plant is ideal for xeriscapes, modern landscapes, and bold container displays.
