10 Seeds Perennial Candytuft Iberis sempervirens Ground Cover Flower

Perennial Candytuft (Iberis sempervirens) is a low-growing evergreen subshrub prized for its dense spring display of small white flowers that form a soft carpet over dark green foliage. It works well at the front of borders, along pathways, in rock gardens, and on slopes where a tidy, spreading habit is wanted.

The flowers are bright and long-lasting in spring, and the foliage keeps structure through much of the year in mild climates. It pairs nicely with spring bulbs, creeping thyme, and other low perennials, and it can be used as a ground cover or edging plant in well-drained sites.
