Yucca filamentosa 'Color Guard' (Variegated Yucca)

SunZone: 5-10, at least 20" tall Origin: USA

This fabulous yucca selection was brought into the US from Japan by hosta-guru Paul Aden. This is the best gold-centered variegated yucca on the market. The growth habit is similar to Y. 'Golden Sword', except that the center coloration brightens to a creamy-gold in midsummer, when others begin to fade. The foliage is also covered in hundreds of curly white hairs, which can be shaved off if the lack of grooming bothers you. Dan Hinkley, founder of Heronswood, rates this in his Top 10 most indispensable plants! Each 3' wide clump is topped with 6' stalks of white flowers in spring...AWESOME! Pot size: 24 fl. oz (709.77 ml)
