Candytuft Iberis ‘Alexanders White”.  Nothing quite ‘pops’ like a blanket of pure white to announce the beginning of Spring!  Candytuft Iberis ‘Alexander’s White’ is a perennial ground cover that blooms with large clusters of white flowers.  The narrow evergreen leaves are smothered with white flowers that last from mid to late spring with a less showy rebloom in the fall.

An old-time favorite, candytuft is a charming plant for perennial gardens. Iberis is drought tolerant making it a great filler for wall crevices  or between the stones of walkways. It is also effective as edging or groundcover.

Candytuft is easily grown in well-drained, alkaline soil 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.   They tolerate poor soil and drought conditions.

Zones 3-9           Full Sun              8 – 10 inches tall and 12 – 24 inches wide
