Adam's Needle Yucca filamentosa 'Color Guard'
Monkey Grass Liriope muscari 'Big Blue'


 
Large, evergreen rosette of leathery sword shaped leaves, grey-green in color with a yellow center. When mature, produces a tall spike with large creamy white flowers. Takes on coral tones in winter.

Adam’s Needle is a terrific plant for problem sunny areas with dry soil. It forms a large, evergreen rosette of leathery sword-shaped leaves, grey-green in colour with a buttery yellow centre. Takes on coral tones in winter. When mature, the rosettes produce a very tall spike loaded with large creamy-white flowers in late summer. An excellent specimen plant for difficult sites. Clumps may need dividing after 5 to 6 years — goggles and gloves are advised. Generally does not require any pruning. Remove faded flower stems to the base after blooming, in late summer.
