Iberis
sempervirens is a small but significant portion of my garden. My early
season garden is particularly white. The plum trees, evergreen clematis and
star
magnolia are all going strong in early March. This is when the Candytuft is peaking.
It is only for about a month, a little more if the spent flowers are
clipped off. The contrast between the linen white Candytuft flowers
and the dark green foliage is great. Iberis sempervirens is all of 6-8" tall but glows in the
evening light. I view my garden as a series of moments. This is one of them. Iberis
sempervirens is a hardy perennial if given good garden conditions.
Candytuft has survived temperatures in the teens.
