Iberis 'Alexander's White' (Candytuft) Evergreen Groundcover

Alexander's White Candytuft (Iberis sempervirens 'Alexander's White') is a premium evergreen sub-shrub that earns its place in the garden twice over — as a tidy, deep green border edging plant through fall and winter, and as a spectacular white-flowering groundcover in mid-to-late spring when the entire canopy disappears under a dense blanket of pure white blooms. Slightly taller and more robust than standard varieties like 'Purity,' it holds a clean, structured mounding form with minimal care and thrives in hot, dry, well-drained spots.

Why Gardeners Choose Alexander's White Candytuft

• Spectacular spring bloom: The entire plant covers itself in dense, snow-white flower clusters in mid-to-late spring — one of the cleanest white displays of any perennial border plant.
• True evergreen: Deep green, needle-like foliage provides year-round structure and border definition even through winter.
• Drought tolerant: Thrives in hot, lean, sharply drained soils once established — excellent for sun-baked borders and rock gardens.
• Natural weed suppressor: Dense, interlocking mat habit keeps weeds out along walkways and border edges.
• Low maintenance: Holds a clean mounding form with minimal shearing needed.
• Versatile: Works beautifully in rock gardens, along retaining walls, pathway edges, and foundation plantings.

Planting & Care

• Light: Full sun.
• Soil: Well-drained; tolerates sandy, rocky, and lean soils. Avoid standing winter moisture.
• Watering: Regular moisture during establishment; low water needs once rooted in.
• Pruning: Light shearing after spring bloom encourages compact regrowth and maintains clean lines.
• Spacing: Space evenly along borders to allow mounds to mature into a continuous ribbon of green and white.
