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.
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.
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.
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.
