Noted for its highly fragrant flowers and leaf texture that improves with age, Hosta 'Guacamole' (Plantain Lily) adds drama in the shade garden. It forms an overlapping mound of slightly convex, widely oval, chartreuse-gold leaves, 11 in. long (27 cm), with irregular dark green margins. Glossy above and thinly glaucous below, the leaves are adorned with chartreuse streaks jetting towards their center. Huge funnel-shaped, fragrant white blooms appear in summer, rising on scapes 36 in. long (90 cm). A very eye-catching hosta for specimen planting, 'Guacamole' is also suitable for planting in mixed containers.
