With its elegant, upright leaves and crisp white flowers, Libertia grandiflora is as much about structure as its blooms. This evergreen perennial forms neat clumps of narrow, sword-like foliage, providing year-round interest in borders, gravel gardens, and contemporary planting schemes.
In late spring and early summer, delicate white flowers emerge on tall stems, standing out beautifully against the deep green foliage below. As the seasons progress, decorative seed pods replace the flowers – a point of interest that far outlasts this plant’s flowering period. Thriving in full sun or light shade, Libertia grandiflora prefers well-drained soil and suits coastal or Mediterranean gardens. It pairs well with plants with blue flowers for a colourful contrast, perennial plants for definition and texture, or shrub plants to make the most of its architectural form.
The pure white, minimalist, timeless flowers of Libertia grandiflora suit both natural and modern bouquets, standing out against lush foliage or muted tones. Cut just as the buds unfurl, and remove lower leaves for a clean, polished look.
