Several additional varieties of lotus are now in stock for bare rooted mail order.

This includes the much sought after Fat Tuber lotus.

If you order Fat Tuber Lotus make sure you have something big to grow it in.

Lotus plants are not yet ready for pick up at the nursery unless you are after bare rooted tubers, we would recommend for retail customers visiting the nursery they wait a few months until we have potted advanced plants growing for pick up purchases at the nursery.

The 2026 to 2027 mail order season has now begun.

A limited number and selection of plants are now in stock on the website for sale.

It is very early yet so customers in cooler regions may want to wait a little longer before ordering.

Stocks include the earliest temperate water lilies and some of our lotus.

We have only processed about a quarter of our lotus collection for the year and as we move through the collection over the next month more will become available.

More stocks and varieties of all plants will be made available over coming weeks as they start their early Spring growth.

Mail orders are now open and in stock on the web site for 2026

The first orders will be mailed out on Monday 19th of January.

This season has been harsh on marginals so our miscellaneous plant stocks are limited.

But a large range of our temperate and tropical water lilies are available.

Lotus are not currently available, lotus mail order season will be some time around the end of Winter.

All items on the website are now listed out of stock for the month of December.

The last outstanding orders will be sent on Monday 1st of December.

Mail orders will resume again after new year.

In the meantime our retail nursery is still open up until we close for Christmas eve Christmas, and Boxing day.

The 2025 lotus mail order season will end soon.

Plants are growing too fragile and large to send in the post bare rooted.

They will also soon pass the point in the season where they respond well to division and replanting.

We will keep some lotus mail order stock available for as long as possible, but will likely close lotus mail orders entirely either next week or the week after depending on the condition of the plants.

Lotus as potted advanced plants will remain available for retail purchase at our nursery up until at least February or as long as seasonal stocks last.

The 2026 lotus mail order season will likely start some time in late Winter or early Spring of 2026.

Additional lotus and water plants now are available for mail order on the website.

This includes most of our range of lotus plants.

Additional lotus stocks may be added later, but if a lotus variety is not available now, it is unlikely to be available later this season.

The 2025-2026 mail order season has now begun.

A selection of our earliest available plants are now listed as in stock for mail order on our website.

This includes a limited number of our very first lotus and temperate water lilies for the season.

More plants, especially more varieties of temperate water lily varieties and lotus, will become available over the next several weeks.

Tropical lilies will not be available for several months and will not likely overlap with lotus availability.

The first mail orders will be sent out on Monday 18th of August and mail orders will then be sent out every Monday following that.

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.
