Yucca filamentosa 'Color Guard' (Variegated Yucca)
is a fabulous yucca selection brought into the US from Japan by hosta-guru Paul Aden. This is the best gold-centered variegated yucca on the market. The center coloration brightens to a creamy-gold in midsummer, when others begin to fade.

The foliage is also covered in hundreds of curly white hairs, which can be shaved off if the lack of grooming bothers you. Each 3' wide clump is topped with 6' stalks of white flowers in spring.

We plant Yucca Color Guard as an accent in well-drained sunny beds along with other drought tolerant plants such as barberry, juniper shrubs, juniper groundcovers, Indian Hawthorne, sedums and sedum groundcovers to name a few.
