It is native to the Mediterranean region and is widely cultivated for its beautiful white flowers and attractive foliage. This plant typically forms a dense mat of foliage that can reach a height of 15-30 cm and a spread of 30-60 cm.

Soins

Corbeille d'argent is a low-maintenance plant that is easy to grow in a variety of soil types, as long as it is well-drained. It prefers full sun to partial shade and requires regular watering, especially during hot and dry periods. Fertilizing with a balanced fertilizer in the spring can help promote healthy growth and flowering.

Résistance à l'hiver

Iberis sempervirens 'Fischbeck' is known for its excellent cold hardiness and can withstand temperatures down to -20°C. However, it is important to provide some protection during harsh winters, such as mulching around the base of the plant to insulate the roots.

Habitat

Corbeille d'argent is well-suited for rock gardens, borders, and containers. It thrives in well-drained, sandy or loamy soil and can tolerate coastal conditions. This plant is also deer-resistant, making it a great choice for gardens where deer may be a problem.

Croissance

Iberis sempervirens 'Fischbeck' is a slow-growing plant that spreads by rhizomes to form a dense mat of foliage. It can be propagated by division in the spring or by taking stem cuttings in the summer. Once established, this plant requires little maintenance and will continue to grow and bloom year after year.

Floraison

Corbeille d'argent produces an abundance of small, white flowers in late spring to early summer. The flowers are held in dense clusters at the tips of the stems and have a sweet, honey-like fragrance. Deadheading spent flowers can help promote continuous blooming throughout the season.

Baies

After flowering, Corbeille d'argent may produce small, seed-filled capsules that can be harvested and sown to propagate new plants. However, this plant is primarily grown for its attractive foliage and flowers, rather than for its seed production.

Taille

Pruning is generally not necessary for Iberis sempervirens 'Fischbeck', but the plant can be trimmed back after flowering to promote a more compact growth habit. Dead or damaged foliage can also be removed to improve the overall appearance of the plant. Avoid cutting back into old wood, as this can reduce flowering in the following season.
