10IN YUCCA FILAMENTOSA - CLR GRD
10" YUCCA FILAMENTOSA - COLOR GUARD
Yucca filamentosa 'Color Guard' (Adam's Needle) is a very ornamental, broadleaf evergreen shrub featuring a basal rosette of rigid, sword-shaped, spine-tipped, rich green leaves with a broad, central, brilliant yellow stripe. The leaves are edged with curly filaments and are tinged with pink and rose during the winter months. They are topped in early to midsummer with a dramatic flowering stalk reaching 4-6 ft. (120-180 cm) and bearing panicles of nodding bell-shaped creamy white flowers, about 2.5 in. long (6 cm). Adding architectural height to the garden, the variegated foliage brings a bright note year-round.
