Hosta 'Guacamole'
Hosta 'Guacamole'
4-inch pot
 
Hosta 'Guacamole' is an aptly named rich green, large-leaved variety with chartreuse centers (the color of freshly sliced avocado) edged with a wide, dark green margin. The large, fragrant, pale lavender to white flowers of 'Guacamole' add spice late in the season. Expect a plant with big impact. Looks great with blue-leaved Hostas or native Ferns.
 
Plant this vigorous perennial in an area that receives the right amount of light. The leaves need some morning sun to bring the rich golden color out, but too much sun will burn the leaves.
