Iberis sempervirens Little Gem


Evergreen Candytuft

USDA Zone: 3-9

Plant number: 1.285.070


(='Weisser Zwerg') Evergreen Candytuft is a spring blooming favourite, often seen cascading over rocks and walls, or used as a groundcover. The glossy, evergreen foliage forms a perfect mound. This German selection is very compact in size, bearing clusters of small white flowers in late spring. Prune lightly right after blooming, but otherwise leave plants alone in fall and early spring. Drought tolerant, once established. Prefers a well-drained site, so avoid heavy clay soils that stay wet in winter. Not easily divided.
