Mail Orders Closed For Winter

Mail orders are now closed for winter with all products listed as out of stock on the web site.

Plants will be available again next Spring, exact timing varies with seasonal conditions. However temperate lilies and early marginal plants usually become available very early in Spring between late August and early September. Lotus usually become available for mail order some time from late September to October. And tropical water lilies and other “Summer” water plants usually around October/November.

In the mean time most of our range remains available for retail purchase on site at our Nursery. However we do not recommend Winter as the best time to purchase even our advanced plants on site with some exceptions like Louisiana Water Iris.

Mail Orders Closing For Winter Next Week

Mail orders of items on the web site will be disabled shortly with the last orders being sent out on Monday 24th of April.

We close mail orders during Winter as the majority of our plants do not handle transplant and division well during their dormancy period.

Mail orders will open again early next season as plants begin to grow again in Spring.

Depending on seasonal variation typically temperate water lilies and early spring water plants will be available early September, or sometimes even late August, lotus are usually available some time late September and tropical water lilies more towards late Spring or early Summer.

We will post news items here as items become available again.

End of mail order season for Tropical Water lilies

Tropical Water lilies are no longer available on the site for mail order. There are still miscellaneous plants available for a limited time before closure of mail orders entirely for winter.

Tropical Water lilies (and temperate lilies) are still available as potted advanced plants for retail sale at our nursery.

Temperate and Tropical Water Lilies and Lotus will be made available for mail order again next season as they become ready for division and postage starting in early Spring with Temperate Lilies and then Lotus and running to late Spring for Tropical lilies.

Louisiana Iris Available For Mail Order

Lousiana Iris grow over winter, so while many other plants become unavailable for mail order at this time of year Autumn is the prime season to order and plant out your Lousiana Iris.

For now only a handful of varieties have been listed as available, but over the next few weeks as we pot and assess our own stocks most of the range should be listed as in stock for mail order.

Because we close mail orders entirely through the middle of Winter the Lousiana Iris mail order season is relatively brief, so take the opportunity to order them while you can.

Temperate Water Lily Mail Order Season Ends

Temperate water lilies are no longer available for mail order this season. Beyond this point it is no longer the correct time of year to divide and repot them safely so they are not available in the post.

They will be available again some time in early Spring once the growing/mail order season starts again.

Temperate lilies are still available sold as advanced potted plants on site at our nursery.

Tropical lilies and other plants are still available both on site at our nursery and for mail order on the web site. But the end of the entire mail order season is coming so get your orders in while you can.

Mail Orders Resume for 2017

With the December mailing delays over we have enabled mail orders on the website.

Tropical Water Lilies are now available for mail orders, including the popular blue and purple lilies and a few night flowering varieties.

Mail orders will resume on Monday the 9th, and go out each Monday as usual after that.

Due to public holidays and a partial postal week mail orders will not be sent out on Monday 23rd of January and will hold over until Monday 30th.

Last Mail Order Date for 2016

Due to issues with packages with time sensitive live plants arriving on time during the Christmas package rush we do not send mail orders out over December.

Our last mail order post out for 2016 will be Monday November 28th.

Orders received and processed before that will be sent out that Monday.

Mail orders will then recommence in January. Items will be listed as in stock again in the first week of January with the first mailing day being Monday January 9th.

Due to a late season for Tropical Water Lilies this year it is likely that the January restart for mail orders will be the first date that tropical water lilies are available for mail order this season. However tropical lilies will likely be available before then retail at our nursery over December.

Lotus Mail Order Season Has Ended

Lotus mail orders have been discontinued for 2016 as the plants are now too advanced to bare root and post.

Lotus mail orders will be available again some time again next Spring.

Advanced potted lotus plants of almost all our varieties currently remain available for retail purchase at our nursery and will likely remain available until at least around March 2017.

Lotus Mail Order Season Ending

Lotus plants for mail order are running out of stock and remaining varieties will soon be too large to send in the post this season.

Depending on demand and seasonal factors all remaining lotus will be listed as out of stock for mail order some time over the next several weeks. If you plan to mail order lotus this season you should place your orders while you still can.

However the end of lotus mail order season is also the beginning of the prime season to purchase advanced lotus plants at our nursery. Potted lotus at the nursery are already established and available for sale this season and will be until late summer/early autumn next year. They will likely begin flowering on site some time around December.
