This eye-catching foliage is complemented by spires of fragranced white and purple, lily-like flowers from July to August. Looks fantastic planted in a woodland setting or with other architectural plants such with ferns, grasses and Heuchera.This incredible Hosta has deservedly been awarded an RHS Award of Garden Merit. Hosta 'Guacamole' is a fully hardy, herbaceous perennial which will hold its leaves from March to November each year. The RHS hardiness rating of H7, means that no winter protection will be required throughout the UK.

From March onwards, it is recommended to provide some protection from slugs and snails.
