One of my favorite bedding plants is called 'Candytuft' (Iberis). Two of the most common varieties are 'Snowflake' and 'Purity'. It is a low growing, evergreen shrub with bright white flowers from late Winter to Summer. It can reseed, so I recommend shearing off the spent flowers in the Fall. However, it hasn't been invasive in my Zone 14 yard.The particulars:
Full Sun to Part Shade
Regular Water
Sunset Zones 1-24
Snowflake is 4-12 inches tall and 1.5 to 3 feet wide. It has broader, more leathery leaves; larger flowers in larger clusters on shorter stems.
Purity is 6-12 inches tall as well as wide. It's more compact than Snowflake.
Save your money and skip the 1 gallon cans -- the 4" pots establish themselves really quickly and are half the price. They should be appearing at your local nursery right now.
