Lotus Mail Order Season Is Here

We have made many of our varieties of lotus available for mail order on the web site as they are now ready to be mailed out and planted for Spring.

Lotus mail order season is relatively short and some time in late Spring or early Summer plants will become too large to send in the post, and now is the prime season to start them anyway. Also we have relatively limited stocks available of some varieties. So if you are after lotus we recommend you place your orders while stocks last.

For customers visiting the watergardens Lotus is not yet available as an advanced potted retail plant at the nursery but should be ready in a month or two.

The first of our temperate water lilies are ready for early Spring. This means we have just made the majority of our range of temperate water lilies available for mail order on the web site.

A few later season or low stock varieties may be made available later depending on conditions, while tropical lilies will still be a few months off. Lotus and a range of miscellaneous plants will be made available very soon.

Last Orders For Temperate Lilies

On Monday the 3rd of March we will be sending out the last temperate water lilies of the season for mail order customers.

If you want a temperate water lily you should order it as soon as possible so you do not miss out.

Temperate water lilies will be available for mail order again next season some time in Spring.

Temperate water lilies will remain available for retail sale as potted plants at our nursery.

Tropical water lilies and many of our other plants remain available for mail order. However tropical water lilies will only be available for mail order for about one month longer than temperates. So we recommend you place your orders for those as soon as possible too.

Mail Orders Disabled For December

Mail orders on the web site have been disabled for the Christmas mailing period. Due to postal delays at this time of year it becomes impossible to guarantee that plants will arrive in a timely and healthy condition.

Mail orders will be re-activated in the new year.

If your order was confirmed before the 9th of December then it was sent out on the 9th of December with the last of the mail orders before the Christmas mailing period.

Lotus Mail Orders Over For Season

Our lotus plants are now too large to send in the mail. They have now been set to out of stock on the web site. They will be available next year some time in Spring for new mail orders.

However in the mean time we will continue to sell lotus plants retail on site at our nursery out to at least March, and encourage you to come buy and purchase them as advanced flowering plants in 33cm buckets for $40 or $65 depending on variety.

If you are able to make the trip not only is the purchasing season extended but you will get a more advanced established plant that is easier to grow and may already be in flower.
