Guacamole

My Cinco de Mayo feature plant is Hosta 'Guacamole', and doesn't the blend of warm greens and yellows make it appear true to its namesake?

Like most Hostas, 'Guacamole' is super easy to grow in a part-sun/shade bed with rich, well-drained soil.  This one appears thin because I separated it last year, but it still makes a beautiful display.  'Guacamole' makes an interesting choice for Hosta lovers also because of its' large rounded leaves.  I spread a little blood meal to keep the deer at bay, and otherwise it is a no-fuss hearty grower. 

I plan to celebrate this holiday commemorating Mexican pride and heritage with really great food in a festive atmosphere, so I better get to it!
