Iberis Masterpiece™


Candytuft

USDA Zone: 8-9

Plant number: 1.285.110


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 improved selection produces narrow, green leaves and masses of flat clusters of large, pure white flowers with small pink centres, spring through fall. Thrives in poor soil, is drought tolerant once established and attracts butterflies. Excellent for the border and in containers. Prefers a well-drained site, so avoid heavy clay soils. Until greater hardiness is proven, we will classify this as a Zone 8 perennial. USPP#22280: unlicensed propagation prohibited.
