Details
A hardy perennial ground cover. Candytuft seeds cannot be exposed to direct sunlight, so it is recommended to cover them slightly with soil. Iberis sempervirens is a compact, mound-forming, semi-woody plant with evergreen foliage and striking clusters of small snow-white flowers. Perennial Candytuft is a spring-blooming favorite, and its bloom period continues into early summer. The showy, fragrant flowers attract bees and butterflies.
