Candytuft



Beautiful four petalled blinding white flowers that bloom profusely, sometimes obscuring the foliage.  The flowers bear no scent.  But otherwise are a popular garden plant.  Though available in pink and lilac, the white is more popular.  They grow upto only one foot in height and are low edging plants.



Botanical name: Iberis amara    Family: Brassicaceae (Mustard family)

  1. My Iberis almost died out in the drought last summer.
