Hosta 'Guacamole' is a striking perennial that brings both vibrant foliage and beauty to shaded garden spaces. The large, heart-shaped leaves are a rich yellow-gold in the center, surrounded by dark green margins, creating a bold and eye-catching contrast. As the season progresses, the center of the leaves matures to a more chartreuse shade, enhancing its overall visual appeal. The plant forms a substantial mound, typically growing 45-60 cm tall and spreading up to 90 cm wide, making it a standout in borders or woodland gardens.
In mid-summer, 'Guacamole' produces delicate lavender flowers on tall scapes that rise above the foliage, adding a soft touch of color and attracting pollinators. This hosta thrives in partial to full shade and moist, well-drained soil. It is an excellent choice for gardeners looking to brighten up shady areas with its distinctive foliage and seasonal blooms. Hosta 'Guacamole' is an enduring favorite for those seeking a low-maintenance, yet visually impactful addition to their garden.
