Three Core Perennial Categories: Lilies, Daylilies and Peonies
Gratrix Garden Lilies is a family-run garden nursery in Coldwater, Ontario, stewarded by the Gratrix family and rooted in the cool climate east of Lake Huron, with a public display garden attached. The catalog centers on three perennial ornamentals. The lily bulb (Lilium) line spans Asiatic, Oriental and Longiflorum types, organized by flower form (single, double, tiger-pattern) and colour range from apricot and cream to rose, tangerine, pure white and bicolour, all cold-hardy and thriving in well-drained, sunny positions. The daylily (Hemerocallis) collection runs into the low hundreds, covering classic singles, doubles, miniatures and evergreen forms, mostly sold as 1- or 2-gallon container plants and emphasizing fast naturalizing, erosion control and tolerance for sun or partial shade. The peony (Paeonia) range is being prepared for spring 2026, with a minimum 3/5-eye division size across herbaceous, intersectional Itoh hybrids and woody tree peonies.
Display Garden and Seasonal Opening Hours
The display garden is the public face of the nursery, laid out by plant group so visitors can return across seasons to track the same plants through bud, bloom and foliage. It is open from mid-May through mid-October; in July and August, the peak bloom period, it runs Wednesday to Sunday, 10am to 4pm, while May, June, September and October are Friday to Sunday during the same hours, with Monday to Thursday closed for upkeep in the shoulder seasons. Entry is free, there is no on-site retail stall, and all purchases go through the order form pipeline.
Ordering Workflow and Local Pickup
Each category follows its own rhythm. Lily bulbs are typically lifted and ordered in autumn, daylily containers ship from late spring through autumn, and peony divisions follow spring booking and autumn dormant lift. A PDF order form is available for download; customers fill it in after walking the garden and submit it on site, by phone or by email, and confirmed orders are fulfilled at pickup or via local delivery within Ontario, with plants shipped as bare-root or container stock and a brief planting note. The nursery does not ship internationally and focuses on Canadian customers, particularly local Ontario gardeners.
Family Stewardship and Long-Term Sustainability
The nursery is run as a long-term family operation under the Gratrix name, avoiding rapid expansion and short-cycle variety hype, with the display garden remaining stable year over year to give regular visitors a consistent reference point for cultivar performance and garden design. Catalog selection favours perennials that are cold-hardy, low-maintenance and reliably recurrent in the local Ontario climate, with a handful of Gratrix-family selections preserved as long-term identifiers. This family-stewardship model, anchored in the local climate and on-site garden performance, keeps the nursery a stable reference point for lily, daylily and peony growers across the region.
