Color Guard Yucca: Shop Now at Nature Hills

Say hello to a living spotlight for sun-soaked gardens. The bold Color Guard Yucca (Yucca filamentosa Color Guard) shines bright with its evergreen, sword-shaped foliage, yellow and green variegation, and eye-catching architectural form. This hardy perennial shrub delivers big style with creamy white bell flowers, drought tolerance, and heat-loving durability that makes Xeriscaping simple. Bloom time comes mid-summer when its tall flower spike rises above its colorful rosette.

Many homeowners are interested in Xeriscape to protect our precious water resources and to save money. Rock gardens, native plants can make that goal easy to achieve. One of the most ornamental varieties of the striking Yucca family is the Color Guard Yucca (Yucca filamentosa 'Color Guard').

Be prepared to answer questions from curious passersby, especially in cold winter areas:

“Is that a cactus?”

“Can we really grow this here?”

“What is that cool plant?”

This standout selection of the classic Adam's Needle Yucca grows with a naturally sculptural, upright, rounded habit. Its foliage is evergreen, edged by thin curling filaments, and turns a rosy red blush during cold weather. Thick, fleshy roots store water like a desert treasure chest, while fibrous roots dig deep for extra resilience.

A North American native from the Agave family, this dependable shrub has long been valued in dry landscapes and rugged climates. Its symbolism of strength and endurance certainly fits. With year-round color, a cactus-like vibe, and an easy-care nature, it is one of the most decorative Yucca varieties you can grow.

Tiny but convenient!
Color: White, Color: White
Long review: TLDR; it’s cute, pretty durable, tiny but spacious, and handy! First, I feel I should mention—it’s very tiny! I didn’t look at the dimensions, so that’s my fault, haha, not taking points off for it lol. It’s not big enough to fit, say an iPad Pro, but maybe a mini! It’s height is probably enough for a small book, and it’s width is definitely enough for a regular sized book. Also the length from back to front of the bag: it’s very thick! So it fits a lot for the size. It fits my about 1.5 inch thick wallet (about 5-6 inches long), my keys, a mini hairbrush, and a bag I use with toiletries like pads/tampons, mini body spray, mini hand cream, a tiny metal wallet with bandaids, hair ties, q-tips, and cotton rounds, and a couple chapsticks. The front pocket is pretty spacious too, as it fits my AirPods with a case and a bunch of keychains and dangly things on it. The straps are long and adjustable. It looks easy to clean but I haven’t spilled anything or gotten anything on it so it’s a little hard to say. I’ve included a video and pictures for reference! It came pretty smushed and squashed into a flat little pancake but it only took a little while to go to it’s intended shape. I left it full of stuff to mold it overnight (like if you stuff it gently/loosely with, say, a t-shirt or two overnight, it’ll morph into the right shape) The puff ball is cute, and it’s staying on pretty well, but the elastic thing holding it on is slowly stretching a little so it doesn’t look like it’s glued on like I liked at first, but it still looks good! It’s lasted a while now, probably a few months with no issues. Basically, I like it and it’s handy for going to the mall or store, or if you bring very small stuff to the amusement park. (It won’t fit a water bottle, but it’ll fit smaller stuff) In the video, I showed me unpacking all the stuff it can fit, and in the first picture is all that stuff. In the second picture I show the size of my 12.9 inch iPad Pro to as comparison, and in the third picture I show how it barely doesn’t fit. Hope this helps!!

Poor packaging
Color: Gold Pink
Cute backpack, but very poor packaging causes permanent creases in the outer leather material. If this backpack was for myself I would have returned it, but it’s something a 10 yr old will overlook.
