PLANTING and AFTERCARE GUIDE
Best Planting Time
Spring: Plant Libertia grandiflora in spring when the soil is warming and easy to work, helping roots establish before active growth begins.
Early Autumn: Early autumn is also a good time to plant, allowing the root system to establish before the next growing season.
Site Selection
Sunlight: Libertia grandiflora grows best in full sun, where it will produce strong growth and plenty of flowers.
Soil: Well-drained soil is essential. Libertia prefers moderately fertile soil, and heavy soils should be improved with grit or organic matter to improve drainage.
Planting Instructions
Prepare the Hole: Dig a hole twice the width and the same depth as the root ball.
Soil Preparation: Mix compost or organic matter into the excavated soil to improve structure and drainage.
Planting: Place the plant in the hole so the top of the root ball is level with the soil surface, then backfill and firm gently.
Watering After Planting: Water thoroughly after planting to help Libertia grandiflora settle and establish.
Watering Requirements
Growing Season: Water regularly during the first growing season while Libertia grandiflora establishes.
After Establishment: Once established, Libertia is relatively low maintenance but should be watered during prolonged dry periods.
Feeding
Spring: Apply a balanced fertiliser in spring to encourage healthy foliage and flowering.
Mid-Season: A light feed during the growing season can help maintain strong growth.
Pruning and Maintenance
Deadheading: Remove faded flower stems to keep Libertia grandiflora tidy and encourage healthy growth.
Seasonal Care: Remove damaged or old leaves in spring to maintain the plant’s appearance.
Mulching
Spring: Apply mulch around the base to retain moisture and suppress weeds.
Later in the Year: Mulching annually helps improve soil structure and supports long-term plant health.
