Description
The collection consists of 3 plants:
- x 1 Iberis sempervirens: the botanical species with white flowers, native to the Mediterranean region. This plant sometimes blooms as early as late March, depending on the region.
- x 1 Iberis 'Absolutely Amethyst' ('Ib2401'): a unique horticultural variety with violet spring flowering. It usually blooms 4 weeks after the white-flowered varieties.
- x 1 Iberis sempervirens Pink Ice®: a selection that forms small two-colour, pale pink with a darker center, clusters in April-May.
Plant them in well-drained soil, in full sun, or in pots on a terrace to complement taller plants. Iberis forms cushions not exceeding 15 cm in height and 40 to 50 cm in width. Plant them 40 cm apart to achieve a beautiful coverage in 2-3 years. Count 5 to 6 plants per square metre. Their small, evergreen leaves are an elegant glossy dark green, and their nectariferous flowering attracts many pollinating insects.
The Silver Baskets in this collection create pastel spots in rocky areas where the soil is shallow. They can be planted between the stones of a rock garden, on a sun-exposed slope, or at the front of a raised bed (a 20 cm difference in elevation is sufficient). Above walls, these small perennials are fabulous. They also work well in balcony planters. To accompany them, consider, for example, rock cresses that bloom at the same time, as well as small creeping sedums with colorful foliage (Sedum 'Chocolate Ball', Sedum 'Lemon Ball', etc.). By adding bloody cranesbills, you can extend the flowering period until summer.

Planting and care
The Iberis can be planted in spring or early autumn (especially in southern Europe), directly in the ground or in a container, in a sunny location. It can also tolerate some light shade in the afternoon in hot climates.
It can withstand and even prefers poor, even limestone, rocky or sandy soil. If you plant it in richer or slightly heavier soil, make sure to add some gravel or coarse sand during planting, as it is averse to stagnant water, especially in winter, which will reduce its resistance to cold.
This plant requires little maintenance. You can simply remove faded flowers by lightly pruning it if you want to maintain a more compact habit.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
