You can't beat candytuft (Iberis) for bringing you more bang for your gardening buck.
It is an evergreen perennial that chugs along in the garden all year, but really shines in the spring. Just look at it!
It is low growing, perfect for the front of beds, or you could even use it as a ground cover, since it spreads so easily. When it is not blooming, it stays low and mounded with deep green, needle like leaves.

I wondered what that was. I have seen it in my neighborhood.
Such pretty flowers! So springy! I'm beginning to forget what spring flowers look like - we still have snow here.
that's so beautiful.
It's so showy, isn't it? I have enjoyed it from afar as well. I didn't know what it was called. I may have just the place for it. I hope it can take emmense amounts of sun!
Beautiful! Like a lollipop.
i love candytuft! ... but so do the deer...
Love it - what is the zone rating? If you have any suggestions for hardy and zone 3-4post, post, post!! :)
Talk about pretty! I'm going to look for some of those. I am in the process of making a garden at our mailbox and these would be beautiful!
Beautiful! I love your spring pictures.
You have flowers, and I have snow falling on my green lawn. Blech. I am so jealous!
Just gorgeous. I cannot wait until we get blooms here. The forsythia just starting to pop.
I love spring and all the blooming flowers.
So beautiful! I can't wait to do my gardens this year...it snowed here yesterday and today. :(
Your Candytuft photos are so lovely, and I just love the delightful name! That lovely little plant grows very well here in the PacNorthwest, and really brightens up a yard. How wonderful that they are already blooming in your neck of the woods.
Your candytuft are so cheerful and springlike!
