Hosta 'Guacamole'

Guacamole Hosta is a standout for gardeners who want more than foliage in a shaded planting. Its broad leaves glow chartreuse in the center with darker green margins, and fragrant, near-white flowers bring a welcome surprise later in the season.

Why Gardeners Love Guacamole Hosta

- Distinctive leaf coloring: Light centers framed in dark green create a fresh, luminous look.

- Fragrant flowers: Summer flower stalks carry pale blooms with a pleasant scent.

- Generous mound: Mature plants can spread around 4 feet, giving shaded beds an easy focal point.

- Beautiful in dappled light: Bright, indirect light helps the leaf centers show their characteristic color.

- Easy layering: Looks especially good with blue hostas, dark ferns, and woodland groundcovers.

Where to Plant Guacamole Hosta

Plant Guacamole near a shaded patio or walkway where its fragrance can be appreciated. An east-facing bed or open tree canopy often provides the right balance of light and shelter.

Growing and Care Tips

Provide humus-rich, well-drained soil and regular moisture. Avoid harsh afternoon sun, especially in hot climates. Let the leaves feed the crown through the growing season, then clean up after frost. Protect from slugs and deer as needed.
