Snowflake Candytuft (Iberis sempervirens ‘Snowflake’)

Snowflake Candytuft (Iberis sempervirens ‘Snowflake’) is a beautiful evergreen perennial prized for its dazzling display of pure white flowers and dense, low-growing habit. In mid to late spring, the compact mound becomes almost completely covered in clusters of brilliant white blooms, creating the appearance of a blanket of fresh snow. The glossy, deep green evergreen foliage provides year-round structure and remains attractive long after the flowering season has ended.

This hardy perennial forms a neat spreading mound, making it an excellent choice for rock gardens, borders, retaining walls, edging, alpine gardens, and mass plantings. The nectar-rich flowers attract bees, butterflies, and other beneficial pollinators, while the evergreen foliage adds texture and colour to the landscape throughout every season. Snowflake Candytuft pairs beautifully with creeping phlox, dianthus, alyssum, lavender, sedum, and spring-flowering bulbs for a vibrant seasonal display.

Snowflake thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, performing exceptionally well in dry, rocky, or sandy locations once established. Its excellent drought tolerance and low-maintenance nature make it a dependable choice for xeriscapes and water-wise gardens.

In Alberta, Snowflake Candytuft is an exceptionally hardy perennial that provides brilliant spring colour and evergreen interest throughout the year.
