Iberis sempervirens, commonly called Candytuft, is an evergreen subshrub that slowly spreads to form a tidy cushion of shiny dark green leaves. In late spring and early summer, numerous snow-white flowers nearly cover the foliage. Iberis sempervirens makes an effective edging for a sunny border.
A fabulous little plant that you should not be overlooked. Iberis sempervirens is an enchanting low, sprawling, woody-based perennial that will charm your garden in mid to late spring. Among the purest garden white flowers, the blossoms stand out starkly against the foliage of narrow, dark green leaves.
Prefers full sun locations and enjoys average, well-drained soils. Part shade is tolerated but will flower less. Good drainage is essential. This plant is drought tolerant once established. Tolerates poor soils but intolerant of wet and poorly-drained soils
Evergreen Candytuft is a remarkable edging plant for borders, paths, or walkways. It is also particularly attractive in rock gardens or cascading over the edge of raised beds and can be used as a ground cover in small areas. A great addition to cottage gardens, coastal gardens, or containers. Cut back by 1/3 after flowering to promote new growth and maintain a dense habit.
