Without a garden to fill, flowers often end up stuffed between book pages or on the lapels of pie-covered clowns. Provide a dignified life for needy blooms with today's Groupon: for $15, you get $30 worth of hostas, day lilies, and perennials at Shades of Green in Aylmer.

Shades of Green's knowledgeable gardeners invite green thumbs to traipse past more than 1,000 varieties of hostas, day lilies, perennials, and other ornamental greenery. Ever-changing display gardens allow customers to witness how plants behave in a garden setting, as opposed to potted on a shelf or trapped in a self-destructing back vault. Home gardeners can bedeck lawns in layers of verdant hostas, such as the hearty, blue-tinged Belgian andorian ($25) or the On Stage hosta ($15), boasting an eye-dazzling mound of yellow-centred leaves and lavender flowers. Additionally, a diverse collection of day lilies provides a reason for the sun to get out of bed in the morning, and fiery-red anzac ($7) and pale-lavender-pink Daring Deception ($12) proudly display their colour-wheel prowess.
