    Can't the boyz ship to Canada? It may just cost more than you want to pay. It is a wonderful hosta, though. Mine still has it's lighter center. It is getting misty-green, but not much. Real happy I saw this one in person at Andi's (doublemom2) house. It sold me on 'War Paint' for sure!

    Its a big deal to bring plants across the border, I've done it and you want to put in a big order to make it worthwhile. You have to buy a special certificate and pay broker fees as well :(

      You may find Emerald Ruff Cut an acceptable alternative; I know it's available here, I found it in Ontario last year.
