Planting and Care Tips

Plant Libertia peregrinans in full sun to partial shade with well-drained soil. It performs best in sunny spots, where its orange-bronze foliage colour intensifies. Water regularly during the first year to help it establish, then only in extended periods of dryness. It tolerates light frosts, coastal conditions, and dry soils once established. Remove old or damaged foliage as needed to maintain a tidy appearance. Divide clumps every few years to control the spread and keep plants vigorous.
