Mail Orders Closing For Winter Next Week

Mail orders of items on the web site will be disabled shortly with the last orders being sent out on Monday 24th of April.

We close mail orders during Winter as the majority of our plants do not handle transplant and division well during their dormancy period.

Mail orders will open again early next season as plants begin to grow again in Spring.

Depending on seasonal variation typically temperate water lilies and early spring water plants will be available early September, or sometimes even late August, lotus are usually available some time late September and tropical water lilies more towards late Spring or early Summer.

We will post news items here as items become available again.

End of mail order season for Tropical Water lilies

Tropical Water lilies are no longer available on the site for mail order. There are still miscellaneous plants available for a limited time before closure of mail orders entirely for winter.

Tropical Water lilies (and temperate lilies) are still available as potted advanced plants for retail sale at our nursery.

Temperate and Tropical Water Lilies and Lotus will be made available for mail order again next season as they become ready for division and postage starting in early Spring with Temperate Lilies and then Lotus and running to late Spring for Tropical lilies.

Water lilies and lotus are still available as advanced potted plants at our nursery, and for the next month or so Tropical lilies at the nursery will still be flowering.

Mail orders for water lilies and lotus will commence again next season, starting with the early temperate water lilies some time in early Spring.
