The leaves of 'Color Guard' are sword-shaped and have a yellow and green stripe pattern. It has a compact, upright growth habit and can grow up to 3 feet tall. The leaves are also durable and can handle extreme weather conditions.
'Color Guard' can produce white flowers in the summer months, but this is not a guaranteed event. It is more notable for its ability to tolerate dry conditions and handle drafty spots. It can stay outdoors in autumn and can move outside for summer, handling balcony wind and rain without trouble.
It is good for adding an architectural or bohemian look to any room. 'Color Guard' can survive a 10-day trip alone and shows when it needs water by wilting slightly. It needs to be kept on a high shelf out of reach of pets and small children, as its sap can cause skin irritation and it is hazardous if ingested.
Yucca 'Color Guard' grows well in direct sun, but can also tolerate low-light conditions, though it may not produce its characteristic yellow and green stripes in low light.
Water it every 10-14 days, depending on the humidity and temperature of its environment.
'Color Guard' does best in well-draining soil, such as a cactus mix, to prevent root rot.
It prefers temperatures between 65-75°F, but can tolerate temperatures as low as 40°F and as high as 90°F.
It is hardy in USDA zones 9-11, and can tolerate frost down to 25°F. It grows outdoors in California, Florida, and Texas, and can handle the warm winters of these states.

🌵 For Succulents
When your package arrives, you may notice a bit of loose soil in the box. This is completely normal during shipping.
Please remove your plants from their packaging right away and follow the care instructions included with your order. Succulents prefer to dry out between waterings, so only water when the soil is completely dry.
Succulents are resilient plants and typically recover quickly once they settle into their new environment. Give them a few days to adjust before placing them in direct sunlight, and avoid fertilizing right away.
