Yucca filamentosa 'Color Guard' is a striking evergreen shrub characterized by its architectural basal rosette of rigid, sword-shaped leaves. The foliage features brilliant creamy-yellow centers framed by deep green margins, often developing pinkish hues in winter. Reaching up to three feet tall, it produces dramatic summer flower spikes with fragrant white bells. This drought-tolerant plant thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, making it ideal for rock gardens, xeriscapes, or containers.
