Color Guard is a dramatically variegated yucca with bright yellow and green foliage. The sword like foliage has a central upward mounding growth habit. In summer Color Guard produces stalks of clustered bell shaped white flowers that will stand 2 ft. to 4 ft. above the plant. In cooler weather the yellow coloring will become rose-pink.
