Libertia paniculata

Native Iris

Description:
Clump-forming perennial native to New Zealand. It features glossy, narrow, sword-like green leaves that form a dense fan. In spring and early summer, it produces airy sprays of small, white, three-petaled flowers held above the foliage on branched stems (panicles), followed by attractive orange seed capsules that add year-round interest. It’s a refined and low-maintenance native that brings structure and movement to gardens.
