Perhaps one of the most attractive large hostas, the Blueberry Muffin Hosta produces beautifully textured blue leaves that you just want to touch. As a large cultivar, Blueberry Muffin can grow to around 3 feet wide and forms a dense mound of rounded blue foliage. If that was not enough, lavender-blue flowers appear in early summer. As a reliable and impressive blue hosta, Blueberry Muffin is ideal for adding some texture and color to a shaded area in your garden.
Widely used as a low-maintenance landscaping plant, hostas are perfect for those tricky shady situations. With its sumptuous leaves and stunning color, the Blueberry Muffin Hosta is ideal for growing in an herbaceous border or for growing in a large container. Due to its spreading form, it can also be used for ground cover or to underplant larger shrubs and trees.
Blueberry Muffin Hosta Care
Hostas are shade-loving perennials and like to be grown in either part or full shade with protection from the afternoon sun. The Blueberry Muffin Hosta thrives in acidic to neutral soil that is fertile, moist and free draining. A sheltered spot out of the way of the prevailing wind is advisable to help prevent this plant from drying out. Since hostas prefer moist soil, regular watering is required, especially when grown in a container. To encourage lush new growth, you can apply a slow-release, balanced fertilizer in spring as the leaves appear.
To prevent slugs and snails from overwintering in the foliage, you can cut your hosta back to 1 to 2 inches after the first frost arrives. You can also remove the spent flowers and any tatty-looking leaves to keep its appearance tidy. Pot-grown specimens can be placed in an unheated greenhouse or on a porch over winter to provide some protection from the worst of the weather.
Blueberry Muffin Hosta Spacing
When mature, the Blueberry Muffin Hosta can reach a height of 14 inches and a spread of 36 inches. When growing this hosta as part of a group, a spacing of 3 feet between plants is recommended.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)
We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die.

The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability).

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
