Yucca filamentosa 'Color Guard'

Color Guard is known for his rosettes of spiky, strap-like leaves with gold centres, which are often flushed with pink in cold weather. The foliage is also covered in hundreds of curly white hairs, which can be shaved off if the lack of grooming bothers you. In summer Color Guard will often, but not always, form a 1 - 2 m tall candelabra of creamy white, waxy, bell shaped flowers. Tolerant of poor, sandy soils and part shade though full sun is best.
