Iberis Pink Ice

Iberis Pink Ice Details

Iberis Pink Ice, commonly known as the Candy Tuft plant, is an evergreen shrub with spectacular flowering. Fragrant and showy, pink flowers with darker centres are produced from spring through autumn which also attract birds and insects. It carries narrow, dark green foliage which provides a lovely backdrop to the flowers. It grows as a mound to about 30 cm tall and 50 cm wide, performing best when planted on a well-drained site in full sun, protected from strong winds. It is tolerant of cool climates though young plants should be protected from frost. Iberis Pink Ice is often grown as a groundcover, particularly under larger trees. It is also included in mixed plantings, borders, used to line an entranceway, allowed to cascade over rocks or walls, or planted so the fragrance can be enjoyed. A mass planting gives an exceptional display.
