We have closed mail orders and disabled all online stock for the rest of December to avoid our live plants arriving late due to the Christmas package crush.

Online mail orders will resume some time very early in 2025.

In the meantime our nursery remains open for retail only closing for Christmas and Boxing day.

In addition we are still holding our December open day and sale on the weekend of the 7th and 8th where our plants will be 10% off for retail sale and Midsummer Herbs will be there selling some other specialist plants as well including strawberries, herbs, perennial vegetables and Australian native plants.

Lotus mail orders are now closed for the 2024 season.

Lotus will be available for mail order again starting some time in late Winter or Early Spring in 2025 depending on seasonal conditions.

Meanwhile lotus on site retail season has started at the nursery. Advanced potted lotus plants in 33cm flower buckets are available for retail purchase at our nursery.

This year many already have buds on early. They will remain available for the season until March 2025 or as long as stocks last.

Lotus is now getting too big to send in the post for the rest of the season. We will send the last mail order lotus out on Monday 28th of October.

All lotus plants will be listed as out of stock and unavailable to order on the website some time shortly before that cut off.

Due to a public holiday October 7th will be a short mailing week, we will not send out mail orders that week and will delay them to be sent out on Monday October 14th for the full mailing week.

We have made some updates to lotus stock levels for mail order on the website.

Plants are rapidly becoming too large to send in the post and within a week or two lotus mail order season may end, or stocks and available varieties will at least become extremely limited.

Items including temperate water lilies and Lotus are now listed as in stock and available for order on our website for the earliest plants of 2024.

This also includes just a couple of new to the website cultivars of Lotus from our collection.

Lotus mail order season is short and only lasts a couple of months, more lotus stocks will be added for mail order during that time, but once the plants are too big to post the mail order season will end until next year.

The first orders will be mailed out on August 5th. And then each Monday after that.

Items are now listed as in stock on the online store. The first mail out of orders will be posted on the 29th of January.

Lotus is not available at this time of year and will be available some time around September.

The featured picture for this post is a one off freak flower that sadly cannot be reliably reproduced even on the same plant.

We had a hail event on Boxing day that has damaged some of the plants in the nursery.

This should not interfere with our summer lotus sale event and we still expect a good flowering display at that time.

However some of our retail lotus are likely to have visible cosmetic foliage damage so we are increasing our lotus sale discount for the event to 15% off marked prices for lotus.

Our retail nursery and gardens will be closed December 24th, 25th and 26th. Otherwise we will be operating our standard days and hours.
