A little background: It's in the Iris family, and the Libertia genus is named for Belgian botanist Marie-Anne Libert (1782-1865). This species, peregrinans, comes from New Zealand. With interesting orange and olive-green fans, it surprises you with sparkling, white-petaled flowers in early summer that perch on thin wiry stems. Long-lasting, lustrous, seed-bearing golden orbs follow to extend the season. A perfect container companion for something low or cascading, it's also evergreen, so you'll enjoy its spiky leaves all winter, too. Another evergreen, Black Mondo Grass, with its velvety blackness and purple flower would be an exciting companion if you like the unusual. Well-draining soil and some space will allow its pleasant peregrinations. Divide and replant as desired.

Mature size: 12 inches tall; spreads slowly by rhizomes.

Carefully packed for each plant

Once your order is ready, we bring the plants from our greenhouses into a holding area. Each plant is wrapped by hand and, when needed, staked to protect tender stems. Because our inventory is so diverse, we adjust the packing method for each plant based on its size, type, and stage of growth.

We reuse clean paper and plastic packing materials whenever practical. It is easier on the planet and helps keep shipping costs down for you, too.

Choose your Monday ship date

At checkout, choose from the available Monday ship dates. We ship with UPS from Monmouth, Oregon, and you will receive an email with tracking information when your shipment is prepared or enters the UPS system.

Arrival times vary by destination and weather, so we cannot guarantee a specific delivery date or time.
