Origin
The Iberis sempervirens 'Fischbeck', also known as the evergreen candytuft, originates from Western Europe. It is typically found on lime-rich soil in mountainous and rocky areas. The plant is named after the German gardener Hermann Fischbeck, who is known for his contributions to the botanical world.

Characteristics
The Iberis sempervirens 'Fischbeck' is an evergreen, creeping shrub that grows to a height of about 30 centimetres. It spreads broadly and has light green, leathery leaves. Early in the season, it is covered with pure white flower clusters, which often appear in large quantities. The flowering period usually runs from April to June.

Care
The Iberis sempervirens 'Fischbeck' requires little maintenance. It thrives best in a sunny location with well-drained soil. Although it has some tolerance to drought, it prefers regular watering. It can also bloom on nourishing, humus-rich soil. To promote flowering, light pruning can take place after flowering. This involves removing faded flowers to stimulate a second bloom.
