a spectacular color contrast in the border.

Thriving in infertile, dry, sandy soil,
as well as being reliably hardy, Yuccas
continue to gain popularity throughout our
area. The sword-like leaves are rich green
with a decidedly bright yellow leaf edge.
The height is 36” and the same lovely
white flower bells rise on strong stalks in
July and August.
Plant 2’ apart.
‘Color Guard’ has stiff green swordlike leaves with a wide bright yellow
center, and we mean bright! Add
a compact and dwarf habit at 2-3’,
superb drought-tolerance, deer
resistance, an evergreen quality, and
a preference for plain sandy soil, and
‘Color Guard’ becomes irresistible.
The white flowers in July-August on
strong stems are a delightful afterthought. Plant 2’ apart.

As a bold accent in groups or in
the border, evergreen Yucca is
unsurpassed. The sword-like bluegreen leaves of this native, with thin
curling threads on the leaf margins, are
3–4’ high and are of interest all year
long. In July and August, very showy
and fragrant, creamy-white, bellshaped flower spikes rise on stiff stems
to 5–6’. Sun and drought-tolerant, its
foliage is a great contrast to a host of
finer-textured plants. Plant 2’ apart.
