Iberis Seeds grow into perennial or biennial, low-growing plants with spreading, clumping foliage and clusters of small, four-petaled flowers in shades of white, pink, or purple. They thrive in temperate climates with full sun to partial shade and well-draining soil. Iberis is ideal for garden beds, borders, rock gardens, and container planting, providing long-lasting blooms from spring through early summer and adding ground-cover interest.
