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.

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.
