Libertia grandiflora
New Zealand satin flower, tukauki, mikoikoi
Libertia grandiflora is a slightly tender evergreen perennial plant that forms a clump of erect linear green leaves.
Tall stems of clear white 3 petalled flowers are produced in spring and summer, followed by conspicuous seed capsules in autumn. This makes an excellent coastal plant but requires a deep mulch if grown in colder inland spot.
Drought tolerant and long-lived once established, it makes a cool vertical accent for gravel gardens.

Care & Size Guidance
Libertia grandiflora is not very fussy when it comes to planting: a well drained soil and full sun to part shade position will make it happy. Once established, the plant can cope really well with drier conditions.
Plant in mid-spring in moist soil in a sheltered position. Ultimately, the plant should be used as a textural addition to a border, as it’s leaves are the main focus.
Divide the plants in Spring by digging up the whole plant, and pulling the roots apart into sections to be replanted straight away.

The plants appear to be in good condition and I look forward to seeing them once they mature. However, despite carefully packaged the transportation was not . One was upside down, loss of compost and an imploded pot. I informed the Palm Centre and received a prompt reply.

Well done for the brilliant packaging and to the courier – not a single spillage and the plant was obviously kept upright. And what a lovely healthy, strong looking plant it is and a good size too. This will look lovely as it matures in my coastal garden. Now I know this is a trustworthy company I will be ordering in the future, Thank you.
