Hosta ‘Guacamole’

Hosta ‘Guacamole’ Description

Hosta ‘Guacamole’ is a vigorous hosta valued for its glossy foliage, warm coloring, and fragrant late-summer flowers. It forms a broad mound of apple-green leaves with darker green margins, giving the plant a luminous, tropical quality that brightens shaded borders. Grown in partial shade with moist, fertile soil, it performs well in larger containers, woodland edges, mixed perennial beds, and places where its warm foliage can contrast with blue or dark green plants. In late summer, fragrant pale lavender flowers rise on tall scapes and add an extra layer of appeal. For gardeners looking for a fast-growing hosta with glossy leaves, fragrant bloom, and cheerful color, Hosta ‘Guacamole’ is an excellent choice.
