Product Description

Iberis sempervirens ‘Snow Cone’ is a delightful evergreen perennial that is very similar to ‘Snowflake’ but with a few key differences that make it a popular choice among gardeners. It is also known as Candytuft ‘Snow Cone’.

• Unique flower shape: While both ‘Snowflake’ and ‘Snow Cone’ boast pure white flowers, ‘Snow Cone’ has slightly larger blooms with a more conical or pointed shape, resembling tiny snow cones. This subtle difference adds a bit more texture and visual interest to the plant.
• Compact and mounding: Like ‘Snowflake’, ‘Snow Cone’ forms a compact, mounding mat that spreads gracefully over time. This makes it perfect for ground cover, edging borders, or cascading over walls.
• Evergreen foliage: The dark green, narrow leaves remain attractive throughout the year, providing a beautiful backdrop for the flowers and adding texture to the garden even when not in bloom.
• Low maintenance: Once established, ‘Snow Cone’ is a low-maintenance plant that requires minimal care. It is drought-tolerant and deer-resistant, making it a great option for busy gardeners or those with challenging growing conditions.
• Versatile use: ‘Snow Cone’ can be used in various garden settings, including borders, rock gardens, edging pathways, and even in containers. It is a great way to add a touch of white to any landscape.

Growing Tips:

• Planting: Plant ‘Snow Cone’ in spring or fall in well-drained soil and full sun to partial shade. Space plants about 12-18 inches apart to allow for spreading.
• Watering: Water regularly during the first year to help the roots establish. Once established, it is drought-tolerant but appreciates occasional watering during prolonged dry spells.
• Fertilizing: Apply a balanced fertilizer in early spring before new growth begins.
• Pruning: Trim lightly after flowering to maintain a compact shape and encourage further blooms.
• Pest and disease resistance: ‘Snow Cone’ is generally pest and disease-resistant, but watch for slugs and snails, especially in wet conditions.

Overall, Iberis sempervirens ‘Snow Cone’ is a charming and easy-to-grow plant that adds a touch of elegance and brightness to any garden. Its unique flower shape, compact habit, and low-maintenance nature make it a great choice for gardeners of all levels.
