Candytuft 'Mermaid Lavender'

Iberis sempervirens 'Mermaid Lavender'

1 quart pot

Here’s a twist on the beloved white Candytuft, 'Mermaid Lavender' Candytuft sports soft violet blossoms that appear over the beautiful dark evergreen foliage. Mermaid’s beautiful flowers bring all kinds of flying creatures, bees, butterflies, and more, along with adding charming elements to fresh-cut arrangements and bouquets. It blooms later and considerably longer than its white cousin, flowers appear in late spring with flowering continuing into fall. But that’s not all, its gorgeous dark evergreen foliage looks fantastic year-round, making it an ideal plant where you want a neat and tidy look.
