Libertia ixioides ‘Goldfinger’
Libertia 'Goldfinger' forms upright, evergreen, tufts of golden yellow foliage striped.
Libertia ixioides ‘Goldfinger’ forms stiff, upright, evergreen, grass-like tufts of golden yellow or old gold coloured foliage striped faintly with green resembling a miniature New Zealand flax for a high impact display. It resembles L. perigrinans but is more gold than orange. The best foliage colour occurs in full sun. Small, white flowers appear intermittently from mid spring into summer. A great plant for regions with cool summers and mild winters.
