'Blueberry Muffin' Hosta

(Hosta) A reliable garden and landscape performer, Hosta ‘Blueberry Muffin’ forms a delicious mound of large, blue, rounded leaves in the landscape. The leaves have ridges that are puckered in unusual patterns and shift to a green color late in the season. Light mauve speckles appear on the leaf stalks of ‘Blueberry Muffin’ and hummingbirds love the lavender flowers that appear just above the foliage in early summer. This hosta is hardy in zones 3-9 and grows best in part shade to full shade. However, they perform best when grown in full shade in the warmer zones. ‘Blueberry Muffin’ hosta reaches 1-2 feet tall and spreads about 3 feet wide. Create a border, plant in containers with companion plants, or as an accent or specimen plant in your garden. Enjoy its vibrant foliage throughout spring, summer, and fall, and enjoy its bonus flowers in the summer. You can even cut their flowers and add them to a bouquet for your dinner table. Hostas prefer to be planted in moderate to moist soil and are fairly easy to grow and maintain.
