There are four different types of Iberis. The one that is common here is sempervirens. It is evergreen and blooms in early spring. Sometimes you can get a second bloom if you trim it back a bit after it is done blooming.
Perennial and annuals
Zones 1-24-check the tag
Full sun or partial shade
Regular watering
Iberis sempervirens is a perennial. It grows to 8-12 inches high and spreads about the same, farther if you let it, but then it is leggy. Best to trim back a bit to keep if full and bushy.
It has narrow shiny dark green leaves that are evergreen. And the blooms are adorable!! Look how awesome they are close up!! I Love this plant!!!
I am planning on putting several more in the garden this year!! Evergreen is so special in the perennial bed!!
Take care everyone, Happy Gardening and keep those tools clean!! Martha
That is so pretty. I tried to grow candytuft one time but it didn't come back the next year. I don't know if my soil was wrong for it or if something else happened to it. I haven't tried it at this house but should give it another go.
