    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    An unusual Chilean Libertia with dense clusters of pale China Blue flowers. This unusual Southern Hemisphere Iris relative forms evergreen clumps and loves sun to half sun in well drained soil. Quite uncommon and we haven't trialed it outside yet but expect it to be hardy here.
