Description
Candy Tuft or Iberis sempervirens is an amazing petite blooming ground cover. It requires well-draining soils and lots of sun, perfect for rock gardens or border plantings. This charming perennial is a great addition to any garden bed as long as it’s not very wet or shaded. It’s a relatively fast grower that is very easy to maintain. Its foliage is semi evergreen and after it blooms you can clip back any of the dead blossoms and it will maintain its green shape for the rest of the season.

"Arrived in excellent condition"
I loved the foliage on this plant. Rabbits ate my first bul
"I'm fine with all of it."
They're alive
"They're alive. Not growing or flowering much. Hopefully they will eventually take off and thrive."
Disappointed.
"I was really excited for these so I ordered 2 to test out. zone 9, followed instructions, planted full sun etc. one died almost immediately and I received a replacement. After which they both died- one of the original 2 and the replacement. I didn't even bother submitting another replacement request because this plant won't work in the space I need it for. I don't think they're actually meant for full sun since I've found other sites that recommend partial shade. Either way I won't be trying again and I'm on the hunt for a different evergreen ground cover to move forward with."
In bloom coming out of the box!
"These candytuft bloom for weeks. I'm going to deadhead them soon, late June, and hope for another bloom period later in the year. The white blooms are a nice break between more colorful pants."
