How to grow Libertia paniculata in NZ

Libertia paniculata grows best in full sun or partial shade and prefers free draining soil. It tolerates a wide range of soil types, including sandy and clay loam, as long as drainage is adequate. Water regularly during establishment, then only during extended dry spells. This species performs strongly across most New Zealand regions, including coastal and lightly frosty areas.

Libertia paniculata care tips

Caring for Libertia paniculata is easy. Remove old or damaged leaves to keep the clump tidy and encourage new growth. Cut back spent flower stems after blooming to freshen the plant. Mulch lightly to conserve moisture but avoid covering the crown. Minimal fertiliser is required, though a light compost application in spring can support healthy foliage.

Libertia paniculata size, spacing, and growth rate

Libertia paniculata typically grows sixty to ninety centimetres tall and forty to sixty centimetres wide. Space plants forty to fifty centimetres apart when mass planting or using as edging. The growth rate is moderate, forming well shaped clumps over time. Its upright foliage and neat form make it suitable for both small and large garden spaces.

Landscaping uses for Libertia paniculata
