The Story
Iberis – First Flush Lavender
This elegant evergreen perennial, Iberis sempervirens 'First Flush Lavender', forms a lush low mound of dark green, glossy foliage topped with abundant clusters of pale lavender flowers. Unusually long‑blooming, it begins flowering in early spring and continues sporadically into fall—often in its first year without vernalization. Growing 6–8 in tall and spreading 12–14 in wide, it’s ideal for edging, rock gardens, borders, containers, or cascading over walls. Deer- and rabbit-resistant and attractive to bees and butterflies, it thrives in full sun to light shade and tolerates heat and drought once established. Low-maintenance and compact, it’s a standout groundcover for long-season colour and structure.
