I saw one of these on GOY a while back - and it went on my wish-list! :-)

I have a lovely Libertia, and was very pleased to see it had come through the winter.

Mine are OK as well,but they all have a few brown leaf-tips. I'll have to get busy with the scissors WHEN I have nothing else to do out there LOL.

30 Mar, 2010
This is nice
30 Mar, 2010
Thank you both. :-)
30 Mar, 2010
i like it too...i take it its hardy?..
30 Mar, 2010
Meant to be, and the others have come through with just a few brown leaf tips!
31 Mar, 2010
Lovely change from the plain green.
31 Mar, 2010
how big is it ? it looks small or is it just a trick of the camera?
31 Mar, 2010
I like this too...:>)

I have just got to get one of these! What colours! I love love love it Spritz!!! :~))

It's normal size for a Libertia, Sbg,
Glad you all approve! :-)))))
MOTINOT - what have you done to yourself????????

saw them today in 3lt pots for about £5 is that reasonable?
5 Apr, 2010
Mine was cheaper - which was very surprising at that Fair, but that's about right for a GC price.
5 Apr, 2010
I cant decide wether to get some. Dont know where i would put them really.
5 Apr, 2010
They have to have sun, or they sulk and refuse to flower. Does that help?
5 Apr, 2010
yes that decides it then. the only reliably sunny bed has a L grandiflora in it. So I'll give them a miss ;o(
5 Apr, 2010
Sorry.......
5 Apr, 2010
yes me too...........

As I don't have space for all the sun lovers I would like I appreciate seeing them in other people's gardens - I'm just glad they share them with us on here. :-)))
6 Apr, 2010
I saw an all golden one today with a name with gold in it. for a similar price. do you know it spritz?
6 Apr, 2010
Yes - I've got one in the back garden called L. peregrinans 'Goldfinger'.
6 Apr, 2010
thats the one.
6 Apr, 2010
It's like the others after the winter - I shall have to snip a few brown bits off a few leaves. :-((
6 Apr, 2010
i think this is the plant i wrote in a previous ? asking--- had it for a year and it was fantastic but after winter it looks floppy and stems coming out-have cut back to about 12 inches no not to a rule--------- hope this does pick up
18 Apr, 2010
Thanks. my Libertias didn't 'flop', the ends of the leaves went brown. I've been out snipping with scissors to improve the 'look' of them!
18 Apr, 2010
well im gonna give it another week or 2 then its binned or maybe might put it in shady corner of front garden
19 Apr, 2010
No, Davey - it MUST have sun!
19 Apr, 2010
ok ta will move it into full sun but i think its dying
cheers davey
20 Apr, 2010
Oh dear - that's a shame. :-(
20 Apr, 2010
good morning henry
well its got till the weekend then if not its binned but might put it in fornt garden---------- already have somethign in mind for the large pot
cheers davey
21 Apr, 2010
Good luck with it - but that's not very long for it to 'pick up'...I'd leave it longer, personally, but it's your plant!
21 Apr, 2010
indeed it is need the pot for a miniature apple tree i have in mind
cheers davey
21 Apr, 2010
Is the plant a phormium davey? they look similar but the leaves are 1inch wide whilst libertia are half the width. And phormiums flop badly when frosted.
21 Apr, 2010
just bought one :):) nice it changes colour
14 Apr, 2011
Mine look a bit sorry for themselves after the winter, so one job on my list is to get out there with the scissors.
15 Apr, 2011
should come back well hopefully for you :):):)
15 Apr, 2011
I do hope so, Paul. At least they survived! :-/
