Tough as nails, yuccas
are the ideal plant for a no-maintenance garden. Their sword-like foliage
radiates upward from a central crown, remaining upright all year round
except in the heaviest snows. It combines nicely with all kinds of mounded
foliage plants. 'Color Guard' bears bright creamy-yellow leaves with green
edges. During the cooler months of fall and winter, the light leaf centers
take on rose overtones.
From early to
midsummer, spectacular sturdy flower stalks rise 3-4 feet tall from the
center of the plant. The individual bell-shaped flowers are 2-3 inches long
and dangle from the stems like earrings.
