Use the plant water needs as a guideline. Actual plant water needs will vary for several reasons, including weather conditions, soil type, sun exposure, root depth, wind and elevation. Adjust your watering schedule as needed to meet the plants' needs at your site. Water recent transplants more often than established plants.

Iberis taurica is a small rock garden plant. It is much smaller than comon candytuft.
It grows a small mound of dark green, spatulate leaf rosettes. In April or May, it produces charming large flat clusters of lilac-tinged white flowers. Individual plants may be short-lived, but it can regrow from seedlings.
This plant has been a good performer in the Crevice Rock Garden at the Xeriscape Garden. The lilac-pink tinge to the flowers is unusual and attractive.
Trim off spent flowers after blooming to keep the plant attractive. Trim off brown portions of stems in the spring before new growth starts.
