Mikoikoi, Wandering Chilean Iris, New Zealand Iris, Gold-Leaf New Zealand Iris, Orange Libertia
Extremely eye-catching with its stiff, sword-shaped golden green leaves shaded with orange, Libertia peregrinans (New Zealand Iris) is a rhizomatous perennial which adds sparkles to the border! Slightly fragrant, pure small white, iris-like blossoms appear in clusters, on top of straight stems, in late spring and early summer, and flower sporadically from summer to fall. This grass-like plant makes a bold statement, especially in winter when its foliage brightens!
