Libertia peregrinans.
A perennial herb with short creeping rhizomes, it forms a bold clump of stiff orange-green leaves. The sunnier the site the more orange the leaves turn. In spring it has stems of iris-like white flowers, followed by orange seed pods. Prefers a semi-shaded site and soil that does not get too dry. Hardy.
