Iberis sempervirens 'Alexander White'

Common Name:
Candytuft-Evergreen
Bloom color:
White
Height:
8-10"
Bloom:
April-May
Hardiness:
3-9
Light:
Full Sun
Soil:
Well-drained alkaline

Why you need this plant:      A blanket of pure white! Large clusters of flowers carpet the narrow, evergreen leaves from mid to late spring. This variety is fairly tall for the species and has the added bonus of a tendency to rebloom in the fall.

An old-time favorite, candytuft is a charming plant for perennial gardens. Because of its drought tolerance, it makes a great filler for crevices in walls or between the stones of walkways. It is also effective as edging or groundcover.

 
Planting Info:  Candytuft is easily grown in well-drained, alkaline soil in full sun or partial shade. Flowering will be more prolific in full sun. Plan to shear these plants back by about half right after they are finished flowering in order to promote new growth and a more compact growth habit.
