Iberis sempervirens
(Evergreen Candytuft)
50 seeds $3.50
Iberis sempervirens is low-growing, bushy perennial with evergreen foliage and clusters of pure white flowers in early May. It's one of the few perennials that blooms on Mother's Day in my zone 5 garden.
Evergreen Candytuft is a good plant for rock gardens or for trailing over walls. It's also nice at the front of the border or along a pathway. Cut it back by one-third after blooming to keep the plants compact and shapely.
