2008 Landscape Show New Plants
	Yucca filamentosa ‘Color Guard’ Island Tropical Foliage, Inc. Booth#: 264517960 SW 232nd St Miami, FL 33170 Contact: Larry Barr Phone: 305-245-0010 Toll Free: 877-247-0010 Fax: 305-245-0109 Email: larry@islandtropicalfoliage.comWebsite: www.islandtropicalfoliage.com
This easy-to-grow Yucca is one of our favorites. This Yucca has bright yellow foliage with a dark green edge. Yucca 'Color Guard' performs best in moderately rich, well-drained or sandy soil. They tolerate poor soil (growing more slowly) and are very drought tolerant once established. Yucca 'Color Guard' prefers full sun, but tolerates part shade. To keep these plants looking good, cut off dead and damaged leaves at their bases. Also removing the faded flower spikes prevents an infestation of aphids. Zones 5 to 10. A native of Eastern United States.

Captiva St. Augustine is the first St. Augustine grass since Floratam to resist all chinch bugs found in the state of FL. With a deep, dark green color, Captiva has exceptional beauty, a slow rate of vertical growth which means less mowing for the end-user. Captiva was shorter at 21 days of growth than Floratam was at 7 days. Captiva's dense canopy and deep root system make it a hardy turf grass that will be a viable performer in the landscape for many years to come.

The Firebush ‘Calusa’™ adds attractive foliage and flowers to a landscape while drawing in butterflies and hummingbirds. Calusa’s unique features are its eye-catching, darker, red-orange blooms; denser growing habit; higher resistance to fungus; and leaves that hold a much darker uniform shade of red in the winter compared to the typical Firebush. The Calusa™ blooms continuously throughout the year and has a more uniform appearance in comparison to other varieties of Firebush.
