Color Guard Yucca (Yucca filamentosa ‘Color Guard’)

Color Guard Yucca (Yucca filamentosa ‘Color Guard’), also known as Variegated Adam’s Needle, is a dramatic, evergreen perennial featuring bold, sword-like leaves with bright golden-yellow centers and green edges. This standout cultivar offers year-round color and structure with exceptional drought tolerance, making it ideal for tough, sun-drenched landscapes.
