Candytuft (Iberis Sempervirens) - This flowering ground cover plant is a low, semiwoody, densely growing, upright-stemmed, spreading ground cover that reaches 10" tall. Because of these features, evergreen candytuft makes a very effective edging along walkways and terrace margins. Iberis also performs very well in rock gardens or as a general ground cover plant, particularly in beds that are slightly elevated and surrounded by a rock border. Candytuft if very adaptable and requires only one essential element: good drainage.
Candytuft's tolerance to drought is fair, but it does require occasional deep watering. This flowering ground cover plant prefers full sun to light shade. Some gardeners cut plants back after blooming to encourage some blooming throughout the summer. Iberis is a beautiful, flowering, low-growing, ground cover plant that will establish nicely from ground cover seed.
