About this Plant

New Zealand Iris (Libertia peregrinans) is a striking architectural perennial that brings dramatic vertical texture and year-round color to the garden. This evergreen beauty features stiff, sword-like leaves with a unique coppery-orange midrib that glows in the sun. In spring, delicate three-petaled white flowers appear in clusters among the upright foliage, followed by ornamental orange seed capsules.

As a tough member of the Libertia genus, this plant spreads slowly via rhizomes to form an elegant, clumping groundcover. It is exceptionally resilient, handling wind, salt spray, and drought once established—perfect for coastal gardens or modern landscapes. Why you’ll love it: Striking orange-and-olive foliage, architectural upright habit, and a low-maintenance nature that thrives in sun or light shade.

This healthy 4" live plant thrives in full sun to partial shade and requires well-drained soil.
