Tough and Tolerant Ornamental Shrub

The ‘Color Guard’ Yucca adds a desert flair, even in colder climates! This incredible shrub is reminiscent of a cactus, but is actually a highly tolerant, low-maintenance perennial that does well all the way to USDA Hardiness Zone 4. While this spiky plant looks like it prefers the heat, it instead remains evergreen and colorful throughout the changing seasons.

The leaves of the Color Guard are what make it stand out, with their distinctive sword-like shape. Bright yellow centers are accented with vivid green borders, forming clumps of foliage that grow 2-3’ tall. They get even larger in the summer, when long flower stalks rise from the center and produce creamy white blooms, attracting pollinators near and far.

The Color Guard is the ideal shrub to add anywhere that needs an inspired accent. Plant in containers, use along borders and in mixed beds, or create a desert-inspired rock garden. This shrub is resistant to drought, deer, and insects and is incredibly low-maintenance. Order yours today!
