Red Cadet Hosta is a standout in the world of dwarf perennials, delivering compact performance with a bold twist. Its silvery blue-green foliage forms a neat, dense mound under 12" tall, making it ideal for borders, containers, or small shaded spaces. But the real stars are the legs: reddish-purple stems that peek out beneath the foliage, adding unexpected contrast and depth. As summer settles in, the plant produces violet-lavender flowers that rise just above the foliage, drawing the attention of hummingbirds and adding a soft floral touch.

Color Contrast That Catches the Eye

While many hostas blend into the background, Red Cadet pops with a unique color combination: cool-toned, rounded foliage and warm, reddish-purple stems. This bold pairing adds layered interest to low-light areas.

Perfect for Tight Spaces and Containers

Topping out at less than a foot tall and spreading only 18–24" wide, Red Cadet fits easily into smaller gardens, patio pots, or edges of shady borders. The tidy growth habit keeps it looking clean and polished all season long.

Tough, Low Maintenance, and Dependable

Like all quality hostas, Red Cadet is dependable and easy to grow. It thrives in part to full shade, and returns reliably year after year with minimal care. Shop today for low-effort garden satisfaction.
