Yucca filamentosa 'Color Guard' is one of the most beautiful variegated yuccas. Sword-shaped leaves bear bold central stripes of bright canary-yellow against rich celadon edges. In cool weather, margins blush pink and yellow stripes turn rose, lasting through early spring. 2 feet wide and tall. Mid-summer brings 6-foot spikes of creamy-white bell flowers.
Full sun to part shade. Rich, evenly moist soil for best growth, but widely adaptable to light, soil, and moisture conditions. Drought tolerant once established.
Remove rooted suckers in spring. Take root cuttings in winter. Low maintenance.
Cane borers, scale insects, fungal leaf spots. Generally minor.
