Iberis (Candytufts)

Iberis, commonly known as candytuft, is a hardy genus of flowering plants that thrives in UK gardens. These compact, evergreen perennials produce clusters of white or pink blooms, often from late spring to early summer. Their nectar-rich flowers attract pollinators like bees and butterflies, supporting local ecosystems.

Many Iberis varieties tolerate poor soil and coastal conditions, making them versatile for rockeries or borders. Their low-growing habit provides ground cover, sheltering small insects. Some species offer year-round foliage, adding structure to winter gardens. Plant them in well-drained soil with full sun for best results.
