Short description:
Iberis sempervirens ( Evergreen candytuft , Perennial candytuft ) is a flowering plant which is used as an ornamental plant . Evergreen Candytuft is a spring blooming favourite, often seen cascading over rocks and walls, or used as a groundcover . The glossy, evergreen foliage forms a billowing mound, with loads of good-sized white flowers for several weeks. When grown in a garden it may require light pruning right after blooming, but otherwise plants can be left alone in fall and early spring. It is drought tolerant once established. It prefers a well-drained site, so heavy clay soils that stay wet in winter should be avoided. It is not easily divided.
