Libertia ixioides ‘Taupo Sunset’ is a striking evergreen perennial renowned for its vibrant foliage and elegant flowers. Native to New Zealand, the narrow, sword-like leaves transition from green to a rich mix of orange, bronze, and copper hues as the seasons change. Especially vivid in full sun, ‘Taupo Sunset’ a fantastic choice for adding warmth and visual interest to garden beds and borders all year round. In late spring to early summer, ‘Taupo Sunset’ produces delicate, white, star-shaped flowers held in open clusters on slender stems between and above the foliage. These blooms contrast beautifully with the colourful leaves, adding a layer of elegance. The flowers eventually give way to attractive seed pods. Libertia ixioides ‘Taupo Sunset’ thrives in well-drained soil and thrives in a sunny to partially shaded location. It is relatively low-maintenance, drought-tolerant once established, and resistant to most pests and diseases. This makes it an excellent choice for gardeners seeking a resilient, low-care plant that offers striking seasonal interest and colour throughout the year.
