Description
Libertia peregrinans 'Gold Leaf' is a variety of New Zealand Iris selected for its olive green foliage that turns amber-yellow in autumn and then orange in winter. This grasslike perennial plant slowly spreads through its rhizomes. It is also interesting for its delicate white summer flowering, carried by slender stems hidden in the foliage. This plant is ideally planted in non-limestone, moist, but well-drained soil, in a sunny location. Adapted to mild winters, it grows very well in pots, where it is very effective.
Libertia peregrinans is a botanical species native to New Zealand belonging to the Iridaceae family. This perennial plant develops laterally through long branching rhizomes forming scattered clumps and eventually large mats. Its growth is moderately fast and its crown dies below -8°C.
Libertia 'Gold Leaf' is a horticultural selection that is slightly shorter but more colourful. The plant forms a dense, stiff clump, weakly spreading in all directions. The plant develops foliage composed of stiff, linear, olive-green leaves with a very pronounced midrib. They take on an amber-yellow colour in autumn, more orange in winter. In late spring and early summer (June-July), short, 30-35 cm tall, thin, bronze yellowish green floral stems appear between the leaves, carrying panicles of 3 to 6 flowers. Each flower measures 1.5 to 2 cm in diameter and consists of three white petals sheathed in a bract. The centre of the corolla is filled with yellow stamens with orange-brown anthers.
Libertia peregrinans 'Gold Leaf' is at home in mild oceanic climates. Truly attractive in many ways, it is beautiful in water gardens with a wild or even Asian-inspired design. You can associate it with Sisyrinchiums, Crocosmia crocosmiiflora 'Emily McKenzie', or low-growing agapanthus, for example. This perennial will also be appreciated in containers, on the terrace or balcony.

Planting and care
Coastal areas can successfully host Libertias, as they thrive in regions with high atmospheric humidity and not too dry summers. They can be grown outdoors with relative ease, provided they are given a warm location. In colder climates, they should be cultivated in pots and brought indoors to a frost-free area. They require well-drained soil in winter, not too dry in summer, preferably without limestone.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
