Plants reach from 20-40cm in height, making them good for use in rock gardens and at the front of garden borders. They flower from early summer to the first frost of winter if you sow them sequentially. Iberis has lance shaped leaves and fragrant umbels of flowers that may be pink, red, purple or white in colour.
Sow in spring outdoors where they are to flower. Sow 3mm deep in rows 30cm apart. Germination usually takes approximately 21 days.
Seed can also be sown outdoors in early autumn for over-wintering and earlier flowering.
They prefer a sunny open site and well drained soil, but will grow in most sites and soils.
