Need something bright and beautiful in a tough spot in the landscape? Do you like rock gardens? We have a great plant for all those areas! Yucca Color Guard is one tough and beautiful addition for any situation. Striking yellow and green blades that stay that way year-round, super hardy too. Not a fussy plant either, it will take the driest of soils and does well in moist, (not wet) conditions. Blades are pliable, not ridged, but the tips are sharp to the touch. One visit, and children and pets will stay clear of it. Color is consistent from spring to summer, and as the cooler temperature start in fall, the blades turn slight pinkish around the edges. It also has a nice look for fall. Yucca Color Guard blooms as well! Tall stalks of creamy white flowers that look like little bells will draw beneficials swarming to your plant.
