Yucca - Color Guard
The Adam's Needle, 'Yucca filamentosa ‘Color Gard’, is a clump forming perennial with yellow stripes down the middle of its dark green foliage, looking ribbon-like.  In summer, a tall, showy flower spike emerges from the center of the plant and puts on a prominent show for several weeks.   These creamy, bell-shaped, white flowers hover over the foliage and are fragrant. ‘Color Gard’ has a nice plant height and spread for that small sunny spot in your yard. Plant this yucca in full sun and in a well-drained area. ‘Color Gard’ looks great in a subject garden or in containers and is also a butterfly attractor.  Once established, it needs only occasional watering. In the winter months, the foliage turns pink. The red coloration on the long blades highlight the flowering crown, so 'Color Gard' offers year round appeal. * Outstanding focal point! * Low maintenance. * Allergy free.

In the spring, 'Summer Snowflake' will bloom with clusters of white flowers that follow along the horizontal stems, creating a double row of blooms on each side.

The non-fragrant, lovely white flowers are almost continuous throughout the summer.  It has dark green oval leaves that can reach up to five inches long. The foliage turns a rusty red to bronze in the early fall, and the flowers give way to bright red berries that are relished by the birds.

With a plant height of 3-6' and a width of 4-5', it makes a great for borders or screens. The Jim Dandy is tolerant of poorly drained soils and it is deer resistant. Want Berries?
