Iberis sempervirens ‘Snowflake’, commonly known as Candytuft ‘Snowflake’, is a charming and reliable evergreen perennial prized for its profusion of pure white flowers that blanket the plant in spring.

• Abundant white blooms: The small, pure white flowers are borne in dense clusters that often completely cover the foliage, creating a stunning display reminiscent of a blanket of snow.
• Evergreen foliage: The narrow, dark green leaves remain attractive year-round, providing a backdrop for the flowers and adding texture to the garden even when not in bloom.

• Versatile use: ‘Snowflake’ can be used in a variety of 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 ‘Snowflake’ 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.

• 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: ‘Snowflake’ is generally pest and disease-resistant, but watch for slugs and snails, especially in wet conditions.
