Hosta – Avocado

A striking shade perennial, Hosta ‘Avocado’ features large, glossy avocado-green leaves with wide dark-green margins, forming a lush mound ideal for specimen plantings or ground cover. It produces fragrant pale-lavender to white trumpet-shaped flowers on tall scapes in mid-summer, adding vertical interest to shaded beds. A sport of the popular ‘Guacamole’, this vigorous hosta is rabbit-resistant and thrives in USDA Zones 3–9, tolerating part shade to morning/filtered sun, and is relatively drought-tolerant once established. With low-maintenance needs and fragrant blooms, ‘Avocado’ is a garden-friendly choice for woodland borders, containers, or cutting beds.
