Libertia formosa (Chilean Iris)

5 from 3 customers

Chilean Iris, Libertia chilensis, Wandering Chilean Iris

Libertia formosa is ideal for mass planting, edging pathways, and adding structure to mixed borders. Its bold, upright foliage provides year-round interest, while the white spring flowers offer seasonal appeal. It’s commonly used in native and low-maintenance gardens, coastal landscapes, and urban plantings. Libertia formosa also works well in rock gardens, around water features, and in formal designs where its architectural form adds definition and texture. It pairs beautifully with grasses and other hardy perennials.
