Once again we are coming into the winter dormancy for water lilies making them unavailable for mail order.
Many lilies are still available retail pick up at our nursery.
Temperate lilies and lotus will become available again next Spring.
Tropical lilies some time after that.
Some other water plants are still available for mail order for a brief time before winter.
We are approaching the end of the 2018-2019 mail order season as we head towards autumn. Some plants will become unavailable before we eventually deactivate mail orders for the season.
Notably temperate waterlilies will shortly become unavailable for mail order as it gets too late in the season to safely divide and pot them.
However most of our range of Louisiana water iris are now available for mail order due to their winter growing season.
We have now made some stock of Lindsey Woods available for the first time on our web site.
Lindsey Woods is a striking purple tropical water lily flower that contrasts strongly with its almost black sepals and flower stalks and its dark foliage.
Update: 21/1/2019 And due to significant demand we are now already out of stock of Lindsey Woods for mail order. It remains available as an advanced potted plant at our nursery retailing for $45.
We will list it available for mail order again as stocks and seasonal limitations allow.
Mail orders are currently unavailable on the web site.
We disable mail orders in December to avoid time sensitive live plant package delivery delays due to the extra parcel traffic at that time.
The first mail orders of 2019 will be sent out on the first Monday of January, Monday the 7th of January 2019.
Mail orders on the web site will be enabled in the week prior for that mail out.
To avoid packages of live plants being stuck with excessive mail times we do not send mail orders during the Christmas period.
As such our last mail out of orders this year will be on the 3rd of December.
We will commence sending mail orders again first Monday of January in 2019.
The first of our lotus are now available for mail order this season.
More may become available over the next few weeks but much of the range is already in stock.
Lotus mail order season is short and plants will likely be too big to mail in just a few months.
Lotus are not yet available as potted plants at the nursery for retail sale, they will be in a month or so. But once they are available they will be available all summer beyond the limited season for bare rooted lotus in the mail.
Mail orders for our early Spring stock, a small selection of water iris, and our first temperate water lilies of the season have been enabled.
The first orders will be sent out on Monday the 20th of August.
This year we have added a new water lily to our online range, Wanvisa a hardy high performance lily with strikingly attractive variegated flowers. Check it out as it is an excellent plant both for beginners and experienced collectors alike.
The last available water lilies in our online catalog have been disabled for the Winter off season. The lilies will be available for mail order again through Spring.
Other plants will briefly remain available before Winter.
Water lilies and a wide range of other plants not available through mail order remain available for retail purchase, at different prices as advanced potted plants, at our nursery.
Mail orders are now closed to avoid the Christmas parcel rush as extended mailing times damage plants.
Mail orders will resume with the first orders being sent out on January the 9th and items being made available to order during the week before that.
To avoid plants getting stuck in the Christmas parcel rush we will be sending out our last mail orders for 2017 on the 4th of December.
This means that you will need to place any mail orders before that by the 3rd of December and that all items will be listed out of stock for the rest of December.
Mail orders will resume early January in 2018.
