RE: Looking for Best Performing Iberis for PNW

Hi Scott,

I can tell you which one DOES NOT perform best.  It is the lavender variety
(yes, lavender), sometimes called Mt. Hood (a local mountain -- the strain
was developed locally).  I have lost several over the years, all planted in
different conditions.  I finally got a nurseryman to admit that it is very
common just to lose them, they don't thrive at all.  They are pretty, but
I've never seen one bigger than a 4" pot and I visit other nurseries and
gardeners in our area regularly.

For mine is just a little old fashioned garden where the 
flowers come together to praise the Lord and teach all 
who look upon them to do likewise.

I AM in shape.  ROUND is a shape!
