Not a grass - this plant is an evergreen, which has white flowers in the summer.

It's a lot smaller than a Cordyline, Motinot. Its colour intensifies as the weather gets colder - I haven't seen its flowers yet, though. :-)

Oh dear, Toto - so I have to be patient, do I? :-(((

I have this it does take a long time to flower, my daughter has a lovely bronze one, hoping to split it next year, husband tried taking the seeds, it grew but looks nothing like the parent plant.

Patience is everything Spritz. It propogates itself by underground runners but as for flowering, I'm not sure!

Hmmm...not too sure about the 'patience' bit, Toto! lol.

A good alternative to a grass. Mine is the plain green one and flowers really well every year...also not tasty to the chickens so they leave it alone!

I like this, new one on me, lovely foliage.

Thanks, Bamboo. Do you know any other Libertias? I've got L. grandiflora and L. caerulescens. White flowers and pale blue respectively! Evergreen, so useful all year round. :-)

Nope, the whole family's new to me. I've probably seen them before, but for some reason, I'm always drawn to variegated plants, especially if they're stripey! It's gone in my favourites to remind me for next year
13 Nov, 2009
The flowers are in clusters on tall stems, and very pretty. I leave the seedheads on, as well! The L.caerulescens didn't flower last year, so I haven't got a photo of it, but I have of the other one.

Anyone know if there is a difference between 'Gold Stripe' and 'Goldfinger' ?
Also, 'Taupo Blaze' might be worth looking for, have seen it around quite a lot in garden centres recently.
13 Nov, 2009
Nope. I only saw this one! I will look out for the others, though, now you've mentioned them!
13 Nov, 2009
'I've just googled 'Taupo Blaze' and it looks great! Love it! :-)) On my wish-list.
