Libertia is a charming small rainforest perennial plant for moist, semi-shaded positions. It has arching glossy strap leaves and starry white flowers in spring and summer which are set off nicely against the mid green foliage. Grows to around half a metre high and wide, and does well in most soil types. Frost tolerant. If the plant becomes untidy, it can be cut back hard and it will reshoot from underground rhizomes. Propagate from seed, which can be slow to germinate.
