Hosta ‘Guacamole’ 1.5Gal

Latin Name: Hosta 'Guacamole'

Common Name: Guacamole Hosta

Zones: 3–9

Height & Spread: 18–24 inches tall, spreading 36–40 inches wide

Descriptive Features: A robust, fast-growing hosta valued for its bold, chartreuse-gold foliage edged in a rich dark green margin — a striking two-tone effect that brightens shaded garden spots. The large, heart-shaped leaves have a glossy texture and slightly wavy edges. In mid to late summer, it sends up tall scapes of fragrant, near-white to pale lavender flowers, a rarity among hostas prized primarily for foliage. Performs best in part to full shade with consistent moisture; makes an excellent focal point, mass planting, or shade border accent. Deer and slug pressure should be monitored, as with most hostas
