We have made just a small initial number of lotus plants available for bare rooted mail order on our website for Spring 2020.

Numbers for this initial run are low but most varieties of lotus in our range have had at least a few plants listed in stock.

More plants will be available over coming weeks but stocks will have a limit and lotus mail orders can only run for a few months for seasonal reasons.

Meanwhile at our nursery our advanced potted lotus plants will not be ready for retail pick up sale for another month or two.

Its still Winter but for a selection of our earliest plants it’s early Spring.

A selection of water plants and many of our temperate water lilies are now available for mail order on the web site.

The first run of mail orders will be sent on the 3rd of August and then mail orders will go out each Monday as usual for the season.

Lotus are not yet available but should be ready in the near future.

Other plants will become available as the season advances.

For public and staff safety during the Coronavirus we are now opening by appointment only.

Visitors should contact us in advance to book an appointment.

All visitors are expected to follow appropriate social distancing and safety measures.

Visitors that arrive without an appointment might be allowed entry, depending on safety and convenience, but without an appointment it is not guaranteed and we may turn you away.

We hope to return to opening to the public more broadly as normal in future, though of course we cannot predict exactly when.

Our accommodation remains closed for now.

A selection of water plants, temperate water lilies and tropical water lilies are available again for mail order through our website.

We have shutdown mail orders for the rest of 2019 to avoid leaving plants stuck in the post during the December parcel rush.

Customers that have placed orders during this last week will have their orders sent out on December 2nd which will be our last mail out day for the year.

Mail orders through the website will be enabled again in early January in 2020.

Sending plants to Tasmania has always been difficult, but we have persevered regardless.

Now however it is apparently possible to be unpredictably billed for formerly free routine package inspections.

Rather than raise our mailing fees for Tasmania somewhat astronomically we have decided to simply discontinue mail orders to that state.

Since the plants are now too large to post this season Lotus are no longer available for mail order.

They are still available as advanced potted plants at our nursery for the rest of Summer.

Lotus will be available again for mail order next year, usually starting some time in September.

Lotus plants will be available for mail order until next Monday only. The last Lotus mail orders will go out on Monday the 5th of November.

Lotus plants will not be available mail order again until next season, usually around September.

Lotus plants will still be available as advanced potted plants at our retail nursery all Summer.

Mail orders have been disabled for the Winter dormancy period. A limited selection of advanced potted plants are still available for retail pick up at our nursery during this time, though we generally recommend that you wait until the growing season for most varieties (with the exception of winter growing water irises).

Plants will be available again for mail order around early Spring. Starting with the early temperate lilies and miscellaneous water plants around September or even August depending on conditions.
