Full Description

The Hosta ‘Guacamole’ is one of the most beloved and reliable hostas, prized for its large, glossy chartreuse leaves accented by dark green margins. The bright center of the leaf appears almost glowing in shaded areas, making it an excellent choice for brightening up garden beds and borders.

This vigorous variety forms a full, mounded clump, quickly filling in space and providing lush texture in the landscape. It can tolerate more sun than many hostas, especially with adequate moisture, making it a versatile option for a range of garden conditions.

In late summer, tall scapes of large, fragrant white flowers rise above the foliage. The blooms are not only beautiful but also notably fragrant, a standout trait that sets ‘Guacamole’ apart from many other hostas.

‘Guacamole’ is perfect for shade gardens, mass plantings, containers, and edging, and is especially effective when paired with blue or variegated hostas for contrast.
