Purity Candytuft Iberis Sempervirens 1 Gal

'Purity' is a compact, mound-forming selection of candytuft that features white flowers. The small white flowers are held in round, flat-topped to slightly domed inflorescences and will create a dense carpet of blooms covering the low mounds of evergreen foliage. Highly attractive to butterflies. Mature clumps will reach up to 8" tall and spread to fill a 1.5' area.

Typically grown in medium moisture, well-drained soils in full sun. Less floriferous if grown in part shade. Well-drained soil is the key to growing this plant well. Tolerant of drought. Cut or sheer plants stems back by 1/3 after flowering to encourage new growth and to maintain compact habit. In cold winter climates, mulch plants with a modest covering of evergreen boughs in winter to help minimize potential damage from sun scorch and desiccation. Plant foliage often benefits in winter from snow cover. Stems may root where they touch the ground creating new plants which can be left as is or transplanted to other areas.
