Iberis sempervirens
(Evergreen Candytuft)
50 seeds $3.75 out of stock
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.
Iberis sempervirens is drought tolerant and deer resistant. It can tolerate shade, but it blooms much better in full sun. Hardy in zones 3-9.
