Product Description
An absolutely spectacular addition to your garden!
A low maintenance, exotic garden plant, 'Colour Guard' is a variegated Yucca which forms rosettes of evergreen leaves with a broad, central, pale yellow stripe. Hardy to -10C, and holder of an RHS Award of Garden Merit, you can be assured that this is an all-round garden-worthy plant and a solid, reliable performer.
A superb choice for drier gardens and Mediterranean-style designs, 'Colour Guard’ is not as spiky as other Yucca varieties, so is also a much 'softer' option for your garden.
In mid to late summer, especially during hotter years, bell-shaped, creamy-white flowers are produced on 1-2m tall stems which add to the overall beauty of this award-winning, Mediterranean gem.
More compact than other varieties, this variegated Needle Palm reaches around 150cm high so won’t outgrow a large pot or overshadow other plants.
Supplied as an established plant in a 20cm pot, ready to plant out or pot on.

Care Guide
- If growing in a container, add 20-30% of extra grit for good drainage.
- Place in full light, water freely during the growing season from April to September and apply a balanced liquid feed fortnightly.
- During winter don’t feed and water sparingly allowing the surface 5cm of compost to dry out between watering, then water thoroughly, making sure that surplus water drains through the pot.
- Pruning is not normally needed, but damaged leaves and spent flower spikes can be removed as necessary in the spring.
