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.

Perfect All-in-One Pet Enrichment Set!
Color: All-Around Dog Puzzle Toys
This puzzle dog toy set is amazing! It’s the most thoughtful and efficient enrichment set I’ve ever used for my crew. The lick mats are high-quality, durable, and the included cleaning brush makes cleanup effortless by reaching every groove. The spatula is perfectly designed to spread treats like peanut butter or yogurt evenly, saving time and preventing messes. These small details really set this set apart from others. Beyond the lick mats, the set includes a puzzle feeder and three puzzle balls that keep my furry babies mentally stimulated and entertained. Each toy is durable, easy to use, and provides a great challenge for everyone. The variety in this set ensures there’s always something to engage my critters and meet their varying challenge level needs. It’s clear this set was designed with both dogs and owners in mind, addressing common pain points like cleaning and mess-free prep. It’s perfect for smart dogs (and other critters!) and delivers great value for the price. If you’re looking for interactive, mentally stimulating toys for your pet, this all-around set is a must-have. My crew love it, and so do I. Five stars!

This is a great set to entertain and beat your dog or puppies boredom! The material is natural so safe there! It’s also very durable ! The mats have suctions on bottom which is very smart ! The treat balls make a good toy even without treats in my experience. You also get a couple free gifts which was a nice surprise.

Great package of toys
Color: Curated Dog Puzzle Toys
We have a new rescue dog and she eats too fast so we got these to help slow her meals down, and to give her something to do during downtime. The balls are so fun for her, the puzzle one is cool but she knows how to get the food out now so it doesn't take her long to finish it. The lick pads are nice but I have to place them on a cookie sheet so it doesn't get our hardwood floors oily with peanut butter. I think thos whole bundle is a great value. Side note: do not leave your dog alone with these toys because they will chew them up easily. I take them away once the treats and food are gone.
