What is Libertia?
Libertia is a genus of plants that is part of the Iridaceae family family. It contains about 11 types of permanent herbs that come from Australia and South America. These plants have clusters of narrow leaves similar to grass and long stems that have a cluster of flowers at the tip. Landscapes use plants of the family Libertia as border shrubs or in gardens with tolerant drought. Generally, these plants are promoted by seeds or creep.
This genus is named after the Belgian botany Anne-Marie Libertová, who lived from 1782 to 1865. The common names of these plants differ depending on the species. Libertia formosa is commonly known as "Snowy Mermaid", while Libertia Peregrinans is called "New Zealand Iris". Various l. Peregrinans is known as "Taupo Blaze".
Most plants in this family grow in the southern hemisphere. l. caerulescens and l. chilensis are endemic chile, while l. cranwelliae and l.Ariae are originally from New Zealand. l. Paniculata is distributed across the Australian states of Queensland, the new South Wales and Victoria.

Once the plant is determined, it is tolerant of drought conditions.
Since this plant can survive in areas with limited collision, it is ideal for Xeriscapes. Xeriscape is a landscape that is inhabited by plants resistant to drought. It does not require irrigation. Instead, all water required by plants is obtained from natural precipitation. This type of landscaping is used in regions that are susceptible to drought and water reduction.
taupo Blaze is commonly spreading seeds. It is recommended to use pasteurized soil to prevent fungal disease and weed. The seeds can be grown in containers or outdoors.
