Libertia grandiflora, commonly known as New Zealand Satin Flower or Tukauki, is an evergreen perennial herb native to grassland and open forest habitats in New Zealand. It typically grows up to 35 inches tall and 24 inches broad, forming dense clumps of upright, leathery, linear leaves that can add textural contrast to garden settings. In late spring to early summer, it produces attractive panicles of white, iris-like flowers that are followed by ornamental seed capsules. The flowers are moderately showy and can add a delicate charm to the garden during their blooming season.

New Zealand Satin Flower is valued for its architectural foliage and the bright white blooms that can enliven garden borders, rock gardens, and contemporary planting schemes. It is also suitable for coastal gardens due to its tolerance of salt spray. While it prefers sunny, sheltered locations, it can also tolerate partial shade. Libertia grandiflora requires well-drained soil and is relatively low maintenance once established, though it may need protection from severe winter frosts in colder climates. It has been recognized for its garden merit by the Royal Horticultural Society. Care should be taken to avoid overly wet conditions, which can lead to root rot.CC BY-SA 4.0
