Awarded RHS Chelsea Plant of the Year 2026 - and its easy to see why this caught the judges eyes! Bring excitement to dull, shady spots with Hosta ‘Red Ninja’, the reddest leaved hosta available.
Broad, slightly glossy leaves emerge in rich burgundy-red tones with contrasting green margins, while ruby-red stems intensify the plant’s striking appearance. Compact yet full of character, this exceptional variety forms a neat mound that brings bold colour and texture to shaded borders, woodland-style planting and statement containers. Soft lavender flowers rise above the foliage in late summer, adding an elegant flourish without overshadowing the spectacular leaves. A genuine breakthrough in hosta breeding, ‘Red Ninja’ offers something refreshingly different for collectors and design-led gardens alike, pairing beautifully with silver, lime and deep green foliage plants for a contemporary, high-impact display.
Ultimate height: 40cm (16in). Ultimate spread: 60cm (24in).
