Yucca f. 'Color Guard' has creamy yellow
sword-like leaves with green edges.  In the fall
and winter it will take on some rose tones.  
This is one of the nicest yuccas we have seen.
It is more spectacular when in bloom with 3-4
feet tall stalks of large bell shaped flowers in
summer.    Ideal for a no maintenance garden.
