Shades of Green
We are a plant nursery
in Wisconsin specializing in hostas and licensed by the WI Dept. of Agriculture. We are sure you will find, as we
have, that hostas are an excellent addition to every landscape.
They can vary in size, color, leaf shape and texture and always make a
dramatic statement in every garden. Hostas
have many uses in the landscape, including use in the front of the border or as
specimen plants. They may be
planted in groups or used as groundcovers.
Hostas come in colors of yellow, gold and chartreuse, blue and “Shades
of Green.” Yellow
and gold hostas lighten up darker areas and blues soften a garden’s look.
There are beautifully variegated varieties with striking combinations of
green, blue, yellow, cream and pure white!
Some even have large, fragrant flowers.
We are proud to offer many of the newest varieties of
hosta available and even some for the collector. Varieties we highly recommend include: 'Blue Jay',
'Blue Mouse Ears', ‘Bright Lights’, 'Cameo', 'Dark Star', 'Fan Dance',
'First Frost', ‘Fragrant
Bouquet’, ‘Frosted Jade’, ‘Geisha’, 'Gold Standard', 'Great Expectations’, ‘Guacamole’,
'Halcyon', 'High Society', 'Hope', 'Inniswood', ‘Iron Gate Delight’, ‘June’, 'Komodo Dragon',
'Krossa Regal', 'Liberty', 'Lunar Orbit', ‘montana
‘Aureomarginata’, ‘Night before Christmas’, 'Olive Bailey Langdon',
'Orange Marmalade', 'Pandora's Box',
'Paradigm', ‘Patriot',
‘Paul’s Glory’, 'Queen Josephine', ‘Regal Splendor’, 'Risky
Business', ‘Sagae’, ‘Striptease’, ‘Sum
and Substance', Tokudama ‘Flavocircinalis',
'Touch of Class', 'Twist of Lime', ‘Veronica Lake’, 'Whirlwind', ‘Wolverine’ and ‘Yellow River'.
With all of the hype and reports of nurseries selling plants infected with the hosta virus X (HVX), we guarantee our stock to be extremely healthy and disease free.
We have over
325 varieties
of hosta for sale
and approximately
500 varieties in our display
gardens for our visitors to admire. We
invite you to stroll through our display gardens to get ideas for the hosta
varieties that will work well in your garden.
We find hostas not only
beautiful, but a very good investment for today’s gardener. They are easy to
maintain, grow well in most soils and have many uses in the landscape. Come
visit and see for yourself!
