A very nice looking plant year round. I takes the heat of summer well. I have a couple of varieties of this and am happy with both. My information says it is hardy in zones 3-10.

Iberis 'Snowflake' is beautiful in mid to late spring, blooming with the tulips. The evergreen foliage is attractive all year round. Shear the plants back by half after blooming to keep them compact. Or let them go to seed, then cut them back later in the summer.
