Purity Candytuft
Iberis sempervirens ‘Purity’
4-inch pot
 
A classic spring-blooming perennial, Purity Candytuft forms a low, spreading mound of glossy evergreen foliage topped with a profusion of crisp white flowers. In mid to late spring, the plant is nearly covered in blooms, creating a bright, clean look that works beautifully along borders, pathways, and rock gardens. Its neat, compact habit makes it especially useful for edging and mass plantings.
 
This is a dependable and drought-tolerant plant once established, thriving in well-drained soils and sunnier locations. It performs best when given good drainage, particularly in winter, and benefits from a light trim after flowering to maintain a dense, tidy form.
