Yucca Color Guard
Yucca Color Guard
Gardeners and landscapers alike love Color Guard Yucca for its intense color, impressive height and decorative quality. Highly ornamental and providing year-round interest, this cold-hardy broadleaf evergreen variety boasts tough, spine-tipped leaves of rich green with a wide yellow stripe down the center of each. Curly, pink and rose filaments trim the edges of the foliage during winter for a uniquely pretty look. During the bloom season, extra-tall 4-6' stalks host panicles of creamy white, bell-shaped blooms.

- Q
What soil conditions do these plants need? I am considering an area that gets full sun and the soil tends to be dry.
- Asked by Svecster
- Verified Reply - AngelaThe Yucca Color Guard prefers well draining soil that is loose. It will even perform well in sandy soil. Water needs are average but they are somewhat drought tolerant once established. Dryer soil and full sun are fine. You will want to water to get the plant established the first year. Don't overwater but provide about an inch a week if there is no rain.Was this answer helpful to you
