Color Guard Adam's Needle Yucca 1 Gallon Live Plant – Yucca filamentosa 'Color Guard'

Add striking year-round structure to your landscape with Color Guard Adam's Needle (Yucca filamentosa 'Color Guard'), an evergreen perennial prized for its bold variegated foliage. Each stiff, sword-shaped leaf features a bright golden-yellow center stripe bordered by dark green margins. During winter, the foliage develops attractive pink blush tones, extending seasonal interest well beyond the growing season.

In summer, tall flower stalks rise above the foliage with fragrant, creamy white bell-shaped blooms that attract hummingbirds and other pollinators. This hardy yucca is well suited for borders, rock gardens, xeriscapes, foundation plantings, and containers. Its exceptional tolerance for drought, deer, humidity, wind, and fire makes it an excellent low-maintenance landscape choice.
