Description

Color Guard Adam’s Needle is a dazzling, award-winning variegated yucca that provides year-round color and architectural interest. Its stiff, sword-like leaves are boldly striped with a bright, golden-yellow center and thin green margins, with curly white filaments peeling from the edges. The foliage color is most vibrant in cool weather and full sun. In summer, mature clumps send up tall spikes of fragrant, creamy-white flowers. This compact, clump-forming perennial is exceptionally tough, drought-tolerant, and adds a luminous focal point to any sunny border or rock garden.
