Shades of Green

quality hostas for serious collectors


Welcome to Shades of Green

Welcome to Shades of Green. We are thrilled that you have found our site! We are a family-owned business in Aylmer, Ontario, Canada, specializing in hostas. We also sell daylilies, ornamental grasses and a limited variety of select perennials.

One never knows what treasures they will find here! We have ever changing display gardens for our friends and customers to stroll through and enjoy. As you stroll, you can see how the plants perform in the garden setting, rather
than in a pot on a shelf. There are over 900 varieties of hosta on display as well as over 200 daylilies and over 70 ornamental grasses.

Our hostas and daylilies are available for purchase online. We have had great success in shipping these. Perennials and grasses in pots, we would love to have you come for a visit and purchase these in person. Our online availability will change as our stock grows and depletes. If there is something that you are looking for and don’t see it, please e-mail me as I may have it in stock, but in too few numbers to post on-line.

We are open every weekend in May and June starting Mother’s Day weekend. Through the week and July through September, please call ahead as we are a family and are not always available. One of the greatest joys to this business is meeting fellow gardeners. We look forward to having you come in for a tour and a visit. See you soon…



If you are coming to see us in person, you will find that there is always something interesting to see around the next corner in our gardens. They are a constant work in progress as we strive to make them better every year!
Our daylilies are hardy and healthy! We sell mature divisions of field grown daylilies and always ship freshly dug plants.
Our hostas are field grown from either division or from tissue culture. We ship healthy, mature divisions. Please keep in mind when ordering that the latest releases of hosta will be smaller divisions as they will not have had as much time to grow as the older varieties.
