Iberis sempervirens 'Snowsation' PP29637

Living up to its name and often seen as a low border in garden beds or cascading over a wall, the 'Snowsation' Candytuft appears like a blanket of snow when in spring the dense, evergreen, dark green foliage is literally smothered in large clusters of lightly-scented, snowy white flowers. After the flowers "melt away," if the plant is cut halfway back immediately after flowering, it will rebloom sporadically throughout the summer and fall. Cold hardy to -30F and heat hardy to Zone 9b.

Growing 6 to 8 inches tall and spreading to form a low, mounding patch to maybe18 inches wide, the Snowsation Candytuft is ideal for use as a border along paths, walkways or landscape and garden borders or on slopes. Perfect for interplanting with spring bulbs or a nice spiller plant in combination container gardens. A fine addition to white theme gardens and cottage gardens.

Suggested Spacing: 18 inches apart for solid border or mass plantings; 36 inches apart for space between plants

It tolerates some shade, but produces more of its pretty flowers with more sun. A good choice for poor soils and difficult sites. Looks beautiful in a container or spilling over a wall!  Plant with the top of the root ball even with ground level. Care and maintenance are minimal. Feed in spring with an organic plant food. No pruning necessary
