Libertia is a genus in the iris family (Iridaceae) comprising about a dozen species, distributed across New Zealand, Australia, New Guinea and South America (Chile, the Andes). These are evergreen rhizomatous perennials with narrow, sword-shaped foliage that is green, bronze or golden depending on light exposure. In spring and summer they bear stems of white, three-petaled flowers, followed by decorative seed capsules. They are grown in full sun to part shade on well-drained soil, and tolerate moderate frost depending on the species.
