Growing & Maintenance Tips for Yucca filamentosa 'Color Guard'

Yuccas thrive in any type of well-drained soil including those that are very dry. Though they will grow in partial shade, they reach their full potential only if they receive sun all day long. Many yuccas do not bloom until they are mature. Once they start, though, you will see that they were worth the wait. The flower stalks retain some ornamental value after the blooms have faded. Mature plants sometimes develop plantlets near their base. These can be dug and transplanted elsewhere if desired.

Water before planting.

Dig hold 2X the width of pot.

Plant 1-2” above ground soil level, backfill hole with soil.

Water and add more soil if needed.

Mulch 1-2” deep around plant, avoiding area closest to stem.
