Yucca 'Color Guard' is a vibrant plant characterized by its sword-shaped leaves, which display a striking combination of yellow and green. The edges of the leaves often feature curly hairs. In the summer, mature plants produce tall stalks, reaching up to 6 feet, adorned with creamy white flowers that attract birds, butterflies, and beneficial pollinators. This plant thrives in light, dry, well-drained soil and can tolerate full sun to partial shade. It is resilient to poor, sandy soils, heat, drought, and salt spray. However, it is important to note that Yucca 'Color Guard' is toxic to dogs, cats, and horses. Additionally, it is native to much of the eastern half of the United States.
