I can successfully grow Hosta "Guacamole" without issues. They come back each year. But others I have tried have either rotted out or totally disappeared. I read that Hosta Guacamole was grown specifically for our area, intense tropical heat, high humidity, shade/part sun. After many years of trying to get Hostas to grow, I am happy to have found Guac. Maybe the type of Hosta you planted is not meant for your area? Just a thought.
