Notes
'Weisser Zwerg' perennial candytuft (Iberis sempervirens 'Weisser Zwerg') is a perennial for borders, rock gardens, containers, and ground cover. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full sun and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. Deer and rabbits rarely make it their first choice. It forms a dense, evergreen mound of white flowers in spring and again in summer. Butterflies and birds visit it, and it tolerates drought and salt.
Pairs well with Spiked speedwell, Mount Hood daffodil, Blonde Ambition blue grama, and Gro-Low fragrant sumac.
