Iberis sempervirens ‘Snow Cushion’


Evergreen Candytuft

USDA Zone: 3-9

Plant number: 1.285.160


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 compact selection is smothered by clusters of small white flowers in late spring, lasting for several weeks. 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.
