Iberis sempervirens ‘Tahoe’
Evergreen Candytuft |
USDA Zone: 3-9 |
Plant number: 1.285.170
Evergreen Candytuft is a spring blooming favourite, often seen cascading over rocks and walls, or used for edging. The glossy, evergreen foliage forms a perfect mound. This is an early-flowering selection, producing clusters of small white flowers in mid to late spring. Shear lightly right after blooming, but otherwise leave plants alone in fall and early spring. Drought tolerant, once established. Prefers a well-drained site, so avoid heavy clay soils that stay wet in winter. Not easily divided. European Fleuroselect Quality Award winner.
