We have disabled mail orders entirely on the web site listing all items as out of stock.

This is because of increasing delays in express post parcel delivery at the moment resulting in many packages being delayed or lost.

Since our products are live plants even an excessive delay can result in the effective loss of the plants.

All outstanding orders should at this point have been sent.

A significant improvement in postage times before Christmas is unlikely so mail orders are likely to only resume some time in 2022.

In the mean time our retail nursery remains open to the public for retail purchase of a wider range of more advanced potted plants. Subject to covid safety rules and any changes to them.

We have added some additional lotus stocks to the online store today.

They are likely the last run of lotus stock we will add for mail order this lotus season.

If it’s lotus and it’s not in stock now it either has already sold out or will not be available this season.

Our first run of lotus stocks for the season are now available and in stock online for mail order.

Lotus is not yet available retail at our nursery as a potted plant (and lockdown limits restrict who can visit anyway).

Lotus mail order season is short, plants are in high demand and stocks are low, there will be small amounts of additional stocks over the coming weeks but when we run out we run out until next year.

Some time after lotus mail order season advanced potted lotus plants will be available at our nursery for retail. They will remain in stock for most of Summer or until those stocks run out, lockdown restrictions permitting.

Mail orders are over for the 2020-2021 mail order season.

With Winter dormancy being a bad time to send the vast majority of our plants in the mail they are all now unavailable for mail order and listed as out of stock on the web site.

Plants will be listed as in stock and available to order again this year some time in early Spring 2021 for the beginning of the 2021-2022 mail order season.

Plants are still available at our nursery for retail purchase as advanced potted plants instead of bare rooted mail orders. Plenty of plants will still be suitable to buy during this time as long as they don’t suffer the stress of division or mail order. However the deeper into Winter it gets the less advisable it is to move them and the smaller our range of even retail stock will become.

A wide variety of stock on our website is now available for mail order for the 2021 summer mail order season. First orders will be sent out on Monday the 18th and then each Monday after.

Stocks include temperate and tropical water lilies. Lotus will not be available for mail order until next season (around September) but are available retail at our nursery as advanced potted plants.

Water lilies and water plants will be available to order again on the web site on and after January the 11th.

The first batch of mail orders will then be mailed out on Monday January the 18th.

All items on the store are listed as out of stock as mail orders for 2020 have now ended.

We do not send mail orders during December for the holiday break and to avoid extended shipping delays that occur near Christmas.

Last pending mail orders will be sent out on December 7th.

Mail orders will be available again in the new year.

Due to early seasonal growth making plants too big for the mail, and high demand clearing out stocks the 2020 mail order season for lotus plants is now over.

Lotus plants as advanced potted retail plants are still available on site at our nursery and should be, barring the sale of all stock, for the rest of Summer.

Due to the long weekend mail orders are going out on Tuesday (6/10/2020).

Because of the short mailing week we are not sending orders that might take too long in the post. So orders for interstate regional areas are being held until next Monday (12/10/2020).

Orders for capital cities and regional NSW will be sent today.

With high demand for bare root lotus mail orders stocks are clearing out fast.

We have just added an additional wave of stocks to our mail order lotus for the long weekend.

If you were finding all the lotus out of stock before, hopefully most of them should be in stock for at least the next few days.

Additional stocks will be added before lotus mail season is over but demand is so high this year it may end up being a short season for lotus mail orders if we completely run out of allocated plants.
