perennial candytuft · Iberis sempervirens
Also known as: edging candytuft; evergreen candytuft
Evergreen candytuft is characterized by its low-maintenance requirements and ability to thrive in a variety of outdoor settings. Key care points include ensuring well-drained soil and providing full sun exposure for optimal growth and flowering. Special attention should be given to avoid overwatering, which can lead to root rot, making it essential to allow the soil to dry out slightly between waterings. Prune back after flowering to maintain a dense, bushy habit.
Repot evergreen candytuft, a compact evergreen subshrub, every 2-3 years to encourage robust growth. Best repotted in early spring before new growth onset, ensuring a well-draining pot slightly larger than the previous. Use fresh soil mix, taking care not to bury the crown. Post-repot, water moderately and place in full sun for vibrant blooms and dense foliage.
