Perennials: Iberis sempervirens 'Autumn Snow'

description for "Perennials: Iberis sempervirens 'Autumn Snow'"

Evergreen candytuft in autumn bloom is not as powerful as when it blooms in spring, but worthwhile nevertheless. 'Autumn Snow' flourishes in any decent soil as long as it has adequate drainage. Mildly tolerant of salty conditions. Large white flower clusters that appear in March to April, and then again in autumn (those less so). Very effective mixed with other rock garden species, or planted in large drifts along walkways and the front edges of perennial borders. Mature plants have woody bases and can be pruned heavily every couple of years to prevent long loose growth. -- edited by dtd pbcouchman
