All mail orders are now listed as out of stock for Winter.

Plants are still available retail at our nursery which will remain open according to our standard hours except for the month of July when we briefly close.

Even though plants are still available at our nursery we recommend against dividing, moving or buying new water plants during their Winter off season.

Mail orders will be available again when the 2025 to 2026 season begins, which will be some time around late Winter or early Spring. We will make an announcement when we make the first items available again.

Typically early mail order season will include Lotus plants available for mail order.

The 2024-2025 Mail order season will end on the 13th of April with the last mail orders sent out on the 14th of April.

All items on the site will then be listed as out of stock until early spring/late winter and the begining of the 2025-2026 mail order season.

Online mail order will soon come to a close for the 2024-2025 season.

For now however some stocks remain available, and a number of Louisiana Water Iris have been made available to order.

Temperate Water lilies have been made unavailable as their potting season is over. A small selection of Tropical Water lilies remain available for now.

We have not decided on the Winter cut off date for mail orders yet this season, but it is likely to be soon and in the weeks until then the variety of available plants will only decrease as the season progresses to dormancy.

Next season will commence some time in late winter/early spring including our Lotus mail order season starting around the same time.

Due to the Australia Day long weekend public holiday there will be a shortened mail order week.

For that reason mail orders during this period will be delayed an extra week before we send them out.

Delayed mail orders will be sent out when we resume our normal schedule of mail outs on the 7th of February.

You may still place orders on our website normally during this time, they just may be delayed a week because of our short mailing week policy.

We have opened mail orders for 2025. A wide range of our plants including temperate and tropical water lilies are now in stock and available for purchase on our website store.

Mail orders are sent out on Mondays and the first mail orders of the year will be sent on Monday 13th of January 2025.

We have closed mail orders and disabled all online stock for the rest of December to avoid our live plants arriving late due to the Christmas package crush.

Online mail orders will resume some time very early in 2025.

In the meantime our nursery remains open for retail only closing for Christmas and Boxing day.

In addition we are still holding our December open day and sale on the weekend of the 7th and 8th where our plants will be 10% off for retail sale and Midsummer Herbs will be there selling some other specialist plants as well including strawberries, herbs, perennial vegetables and Australian native plants.

Lotus mail orders are now closed for the 2024 season.

Lotus will be available for mail order again starting some time in late Winter or Early Spring in 2025 depending on seasonal conditions.

Meanwhile lotus on site retail season has started at the nursery. Advanced potted lotus plants in 33cm flower buckets are available for retail purchase at our nursery.

This year many already have buds on early. They will remain available for the season until March 2025 or as long as stocks last.

Lotus is now getting too big to send in the post for the rest of the season. We will send the last mail order lotus out on Monday 28th of October.

All lotus plants will be listed as out of stock and unavailable to order on the website some time shortly before that cut off.

Due to a public holiday October 7th will be a short mailing week, we will not send out mail orders that week and will delay them to be sent out on Monday October 14th for the full mailing week.
