How to grow Libertia 'Volcano' in NZ

Libertia 'Volcano' grows best in full sun or partial shade and prefers free draining soil. Full sun enhances its fiery foliage tones, while partial shade helps protect the leaves in hot regions. Water regularly during the establishment phase, then only during extended dry spells. This hardy plant thrives across most New Zealand regions and tolerates coastal exposure, wind, and light frost.

Libertia 'Volcano' care tips

Caring for Libertia 'Volcano' is simple and low maintenance. Trim away old or damaged leaves to keep the clump tidy and fresh. Remove spent flower stems after blooming in spring and early summer. Mulch lightly to retain moisture but avoid burying the crown. Fertilising is generally unnecessary, though a light compost dressing in spring can support healthy growth.

Libertia 'Volcano' typically grows forty to sixty centimetres tall and around forty centimetres wide. Space plants thirty to forty centimetres apart when using in borders or mass plantings. Its growth rate is moderate, forming upright clumps that slowly expand over time. The warm toned foliage provides strong structure and colour throughout the year.

Landscaping uses for Libertia 'Volcano'
