Lotus mail orders have been discontinued for 2016 as the plants are now too advanced to bare root and post.
Lotus mail orders will be available again some time again next Spring.
Advanced potted lotus plants of almost all our varieties currently remain available for retail purchase at our nursery and will likely remain available until at least around March 2017.
Lotus plants for mail order are running out of stock and remaining varieties will soon be too large to send in the post this season.
Depending on demand and seasonal factors all remaining lotus will be listed as out of stock for mail order some time over the next several weeks. If you plan to mail order lotus this season you should place your orders while you still can.
However the end of lotus mail order season is also the beginning of the prime season to purchase advanced lotus plants at our nursery. Potted lotus at the nursery are already established and available for sale this season and will be until late summer/early autumn next year. They will likely begin flowering on site some time around December.
You can now stay at our bed and breakfast accommodation on site at Wallis Creek Watergarden.
For more information check out our accommodation page and contact us to place a booking.
All mail orders are now closed for winter. Mail orders will resume some time around August or September for the early Spring season.
The last outstanding mail orders of the season will be sent out on our last mailing day Monday May 2nd.
We’ve just added a new “Bulbs” category to the online catalog, with a range of various flowering bulbs we grow on site at the nursery.
In addition Iris virginica is currently on sale at a discount price. (Note: the featured image on this post is not Iris virginica it is Jacobian Lily)
A selection of our early season water plants is now available for mail order.
Water lilies are not yet available, but early temperate lilies will be available very soon. A news post will be made when they are.
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.
For a limited time only several of our Lotus are available for 30% off the standard price.
In addition because of the early Spring at the nursery the varieties on sale are available NOW significantly earlier than usual.
So if you want lotus early this year, there are some available already and on sale.
Customers in cooler climates may still want to wait a few weeks depending on their local weather conditions.
It’s early Spring and we have re-opened mail orders on the web site for a range of early water plants including a selection of Louisiana Water Iris.
In the next month or so Temperate Water Lilies and Lotus will also be made available. In the mean time a small selection of Lotus will be available as part of a Pre-Season Lotus Sale.
Customers in cooler regions may wish to wait a few extra weeks before ordering plants for best results, if you are uncertain about the suitability of a plant to your local climate you can contact us.
All mail orders are now turned off for the winter off season. The last orders for this season have been mailed out on Monday the 28th of April 2014.
Plants will be available again for mail order starting with an early Spring activation of early temperate water lilies and early miscellaneous water plants.
In the mean time plants are still available all year retail on site at our nursery.
