    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    Quite a lovely hybrid Libertia which appears to come quite acceptably true from seed. Nice clumper with evergreen leaves of olive green striped in muted creamy white gaining a reddish edge in winter. Yum! And white flowers too? Double yum! Cover if bitter cold but will survive if UR lazy.
