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.
We have made a selection of our plants available and in stock on the web site for early Spring mail orders.
For now available plants are limited primarily to most of our Temperate Water lily range, a selection of our miscellaneous plants and just the very earliest of our lotus varieties.
More lotus varieties, other plants and later tropical lilies will be made available on the site as the season progresses.
As usual orders will be sent out on Mondays for the best mailing times, and we will be sending out the first batch of mail orders on Monday August the 8th.
It is currently the time of year that we are deactivating most of our mail order plants, especially all lilies and lotus, for the winter season during which they are dormant and unlikely to survive travel in the post.
Some plants like water irises and various native water plants are winter hardy and will remain available for purchase.
The deactivated plants will become available again as they become ready, starting with temperate lilies and early water plants in Spring.
Now is the ideal time of year to plant Louisiana Water Iris. These exceptionally tough and versatile plants grow primarily over winter in sunny or shady positions in boggy soil or submerged in the water. Then, in early Spring produce large and decorative Iris flowers in a wide range of attractive colours.
We have placed a large selection of our Louisiana Water Iris on sale, including many of our best and most popular varieties to encourage people to get them now, while the time is right.
Louisiana Water Iris have now been made available for mail order. The coming months through to Autumn are an excellent time to receive and plant out these colourful flowering Iris as they will grow over winter ready for an early Spring display.
