About this plant

Hosta 'Guacamole' is a truly exceptional perennial, renowned for its large, corrugated, and glossy leaves that emerge a vibrant chartreuse, maturing to a stunning apple-green with distinctly darker green margins. This cultivar adds a brilliant splash of color and texture to shady garden beds, creating a lush, tropical feel. Beyond its exquisite foliage, 'Guacamole' boasts an added bonus: highly fragrant, bell-shaped, near-white flowers that bloom in mid-summer on tall scapes, attracting hummingbirds and delighting the senses. An outstanding choice for borders, mass plantings, or container gardens, this Hosta offers reliable performance, excellent vigor, and a striking presence that will elevate any shaded landscape.

Care & maintenance

Hostas are relatively low-maintenance. Provide consistent moisture, especially during dry spells. Remove spent flower stalks to maintain tidiness. Divide clumps every 3-5 years or when they become overcrowded.
