    Libertia grandiflora | mikoikoi, New Zealand iris

     

    This striking, clump-forming iris is a magnificent addition to any garden. In spring and summer, it produces tall spikes of pure white, iris-like flowers that stand proudly above its distinctive, upright yellowish-green leaves. Adding to its appeal, these flowers are followed by decorative golden seed pods that persist through winter, providing continued visual interest. This hardy plant is versatile, thriving in both full sun and semi-shade, making it an excellent choice for mass planting.
