1 x Iberis 'Mermaid Lavender' in 9cm pots
Iberis 'Mermaid Lavender,' commonly known as Candytuft, is a charming perennial that brings a splash of soft lavender-purple blooms to gardens from late spring through summer, often extending into autumn. Unlike traditional white-flowering varieties, this cultivar offers a longer blooming period and a vibrant colour twist. It forms a low, mounding evergreen groundcover, typically reaching 6-18 inches tall and spreading up to 35 inches wide, making it perfect for rock gardens, borders, or cascading over walls. Hardy to Zone 5, it thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, attracting pollinators like bees and butterflies while resisting deer and pests. Its neat, dark green foliage adds year-round texture with minimal maintenance.
