Yukka filamentosa 'Color Guard', 3LThe variegated needle palm, Yukka filamentosa Color Guard, makes a colourful accent in the garden, its arching, evergreen dark green leaves striped with contrasting creamy yellow. This foliage is covered with fine, curly white hairs, adding interesting texture. Panicles of white, bell shaped flowers are borne in mid late summer, held on tall, thick stems high above the foliage.
