Libertia mooreae, commonly known as Moore’s Iris, is a NZ native grown for its beautiful, white flower spikes which stand above the foliage. The flowers in spring result in attractive, green seed capsules. The foliage comprises short, erect, green leaves with yellow veins. It grows as a clump to about 40 cm tall and the same wide, but will colonise a larger area with its spreading roots. Libertia mooreae is commonly mass-planted, added to mixed plantings, used in borders, planted around the base of larger trees, incorporated into “white” gardens, or used in cottage gardens.

Libertia mooreae Care Tips

Libertia mooreae is easy to care for and thrives in well-drained soil with full sun to partial shade.
