Snowflake Iberis Candytuft Plant

A bareroot plant is shipped without soil around its roots, which are typically wrapped in moisture-retaining material. This method is an efficient way to transport dormant perennials, allowing them to establish quickly in your garden soil once planted.

Since the Snowflake Iberis has a mature width of two feet, you should space them approximately 18 to 24 inches apart. This allows the plants to spread and eventually knit together to form a solid, uniform carpet.

This variety is hardy in zones 3 through 9, meaning it is well-suited for a wide range of climates. It is a reliable perennial that can withstand cold winters within these zones once it is properly established.

While it needs regular moisture during its first growing season to establish a healthy root system, it is quite drought-tolerant once mature. You will find it to be a low-maintenance choice that does not require frequent supplemental watering.

For the best results and the most prolific bloom production, this plant thrives in full sun. While it may tolerate some light shade, you will likely see fewer flowers and a less compact growth habit if it does not receive enough direct sunlight.
