Imagine a hosta that brings both bold color and unforgettable fragrance to the shady corners of your garden. Guacamole is a standout perennial with lush, apple-green leaves edged in deep, streaked margins, creating a fresh, tropical feel that’s rare in traditional hostas.
As summer deepens, its leaf centers soften into warm gold, offering a beautiful shift in tone without losing its vivid impact. In late summer, tall scapes rise above the foliage, crowned with large, pale lavender flowers that are powerfully fragrant — a rare and wonderful bonus for shady spaces.
