Important Notice: Hosta 'Red Ninja' and Hosta Virus X (HVX)

    At Hosta Choice Gardens, the health of your garden is our first priority. You may have seen Hosta 'Red Ninja' generating excitement recently — we looked into it too. After the primary distributor confirmed that stock tested positive for Hosta Virus X (HVX) and issued an official recall, we made the decision never to order or offer this variety — even if clean stock is later claimed to be available.

    We source from reputable growers and test regularly — and when a variety raises serious concerns, we don't carry it. Every plant shipped from our nursery in Bécancour, QC is carefully selected and verified before it reaches your garden.

    Have questions about HVX or plant health? We're here to help — contact us any time. Learn More About HVX

    Fresh Stock. Fast Shipping. No Compromises.

    At Hosta Choice Gardens, we believe you deserve the very best — and right now, that's exactly what we have to offer. Our inventory is the fullest and most advanced it has been in years, with healthy, well-established plants ready to make an impression in your garden.

    Orders placed by this Sunday ship the following week, and we're fully up to date with Canadian shipping — so your hostas are on their way sooner than you think.

    Here's what makes us different: we're strictly mail-order. That means no one is browsing through our stock, pulling the best plants off the shelf before your order arrives. Every plant we ship is chosen from our complete, uncompromised inventory — the same quality we'd select for ourselves. No picked-over leftovers. No second-best. Just the finest hostas we grow, delivered directly to your door.
