Candytuft (Iberis Sempervirens)

Candytuft is a low-growing, evergreen perennial that is loved for its abundant clusters of white flowers, which bloom profusely in early to mid-spring. The compact, mat-forming habit makes it an excellent ground cover or edging plant. Candytuft’s dark green foliage provides a pleasant backdrop to its bright, showy flowers, and the plant’s tolerance to poor soils and drought once established makes it a hardy addition to many garden settings. It is particularly effective in rock gardens, along borders, or in containers.
