There’s something mesmerizing about a really blue hosta, especially when that cool color is framed by a creamy white margin. H. ‘Blueberry Parfait’ takes that combination somewhere special with rounded, cupped leaves, softly dimpled texture, and ruffled edges that give each leaf its own little display.
 
And then there’s the detail you notice when you look underneath: bright white leaf backs that become part of the show as the foliage rises and cups outward. It’s a hosta with layers of interest—from across the garden, up close, and even from below.
 
This is an exceptionally new introduction from Iowa hybridizer Rod Kuenster, with a look that feels both playful and sophisticated. The name really does fit: cool blue leaves, creamy white “icing,” and a form that makes you want to linger over every leaf.

Connoisseur’s Corner
‘Blueberry Parfait’ is one of those very new hostas that gives enthusiasts a glimpse into where hosta breeding is going next. The seedling comes from Iowa hybridizer Rod Kuenster and traces its ancestry through a complex cross involving H. ‘Rock Concert’, H. ‘Beer Belly Blues’, and two contributions from H. ‘Abiqua Drinking Gourd’.
 
The result is not simply a blue hosta with a white edge. Its rounded, cupped leaves, ruffled creamy margins, and conspicuously white backs combine into a look that is distinctly its own. With the name currently reserved rather than formally registered, ‘Blueberry Parfait’ is about as new to the hosta world as they come.
