Product description
Hosta Guacamole, also known as Plantain Lily, are herbaceous perennial plants with vibrant green foliage, similar in colour to the flesh of an avocado, from which the plant gets its name. This plant is evergreen, and so it is a great choice for adding a splash of bright colour to the garden over the winter months. In summer, pure white, trumpet-shaped flowers bloom atop the dense clumps of green leaves.
With its eye-catching foliage, Hosta Guacamole is perfect for adding to mixed beds and borders to add some brightness over the autumn and winter months, as ground cover plants, and even in a plant pot on the patio to add some vibrant interest.

Garden Plant Size Guide
Plants in larger pots can be multiple years older than their smaller counterparts with more mature root systems and foliage. This makes them able to thrive as a full size plant in your garden quicker than smaller alternatives.
The most common size of pot that garden plants come in are 9cm/1L/3L/5L this is in reference to the diameter at the top of the pot.
9cm potted plants still remain the most popular cost effective option though, they just may take a little patience to allow them to grow into full maturity once planted in your garden.

Instructions
Top Tip
Hostas thrive in shady areas and are great for adding texture to garden beds. Consider using mulch to keep the soil moist and protect the roots.
How to Water
Water Hostas regularly, keeping the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. They prefer damp, shady areas, especially during dry spells. Avoid overhead watering to prevent disease.
How to Plant
Plant Hostas in well-drained, rich, and moist soil in partial to full shade. Dig a hole slightly larger than the root ball, place the plant, and cover with soil. Space them about 45-60cm apart for growth.
