Hosta 'Guacamole'
Choose Guacamole Hosta if you want one big, bright hosta to carry a shady bed; the tradeoff is size, because it needs room and will not stay tidy in a narrow strip.
| Category | Grade | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Landscape Impact | A- | Its broad, bright foliage gives a shaded bed real weight without needing flowers to do the work. |
| Growth Rate | A- | It fills in faster than many perennials once planted in steady shade with consistent moisture. |
| Maintenance | B+ | Care is simple, but you should remove tired foliage and watch for slug damage in damp spots. |
| Deer Resistance | C- | Deer readily browse this, so protect it or choose a more deer-resistant plant where pressure is heavy. |
| Small Space Fit | C | This is a large hosta, so it can crowd paths, steps, and tight foundation corners. |
At PGNE, we'd typically recommend Guacamole as a main hosta, not a filler; give it breathing room, keep it out of dry afternoon heat, and protect it if deer are regular visitors.

Morning sun is usually workable, but hot afternoon sun can scorch the foliage.

Showed up on time and planted it perfectly. I indicated a light we had to illuminate it and they placed it for optimal lighting. Worked fast and left a clean worksite. First rate!
Really great website, communication and installation. Very happy customer and would recommend them.
They delivered three trees: a big linden, a big poplar and a little spice bush with install on the big trees. The install guys were great and professional and fast. All the trees looked good with minimal damage.
I went up there today from Quincy MA to pick up two Blue Wichita Junipers and they were absolutely beautiful. Thank you, Chris and everybody from Pro Growers of New England!
The plants are beautiful and all 13 were consistent in height and width. And at a fraction of the cost of other garden centers. Having the team that delivered them do the planting was one of the best values I can think of. They did a great job from start to finish and even helped me with my watering system which they didn’t have to do!
Very dedicated and professional. We are happy with the way they planted 14 trees for us. 11 green giants, 2 white pines and 1 Norway spruce.
Picked up my plants-ostrich ferns and blue ice amsonia without any problems! Wonderful, responsive owners! Will be buying from them in the future!
