Iberis gibraltarica

Iberis gibraltarica is a low-growing perennial with lavender-pink flowers from late spring to summer. They open very pale and darken with age.

Gibraltar Candytuft makes an excellent groundcover with evergreen foliage. It looks fantastic with Allium 'Purple Sensation'. The flat-topped flowers attract butterflies.

Iberis gibraltarica can be cut back after blooming to keep the plants compact and bushy. Or you can allow it to trail over the ground. It self-sows nicely, if allowed to go to seed. Drought tolerant. Deer resistant. Hardy in zones 5-9.
