DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Size – Iberis is an ornamental herbaceous plant, with a height and width that reaches from 10 centimeters to half a meter. It takes around 2 to 5 years to reach its final size, after which it does not grow significantly.

Foliage – Its dense, dark green foliage, lightly draped above the ground, can create the appearance of a rich, thick carpet maintained throughout the year, adorned at times with its magnificent blooms.

Flowers – Its flowers are pure white. Tiny, at first flat and later more round and “full”, they grow many together, right above the foliage, to which they give a silver appearance, in late spring.

Position – Loves sunny positions and can be planted in places protected from the cold and strong or hot wind but also more exposed locations.

Watering – It needs moderate watering, especially in the hot summer months, but also in the early days until it is established in a garden.

Soil – Grows successfully in various types of soil, with different textures and varying acidity values, even those that are quite poor, as long as they have good drainage.

Durability – Once established in a location it is resistant to drought and at the same time withstands frost and low temperatures down to -10 or even -15°C. It can still survive in barren and dry soils, where most plants struggle.

Maintenance/Care – Its care is very simple. It usually does not encounter problems from insects or diseases, so to keep it healthy and beautiful, a light pruning is enough once it has finished blooming.
