Iberis amara 'Iceberg Superior'
Trial: Annual
Years Trialed: 1996
Good Qualities:
+ Early blooming. Also has nice seed pods. Good white filler flower. It germinated very well. Very fast.; Seems like excellent potential, though I had a crop failure. Plants bloom all summer, flower early, beautiful dainty form, but large flower head.
Problems:
Too short; Due to problems with our greenhouse soil mix, 90% of plants died after germination. Those that survived never recovered enough to harvest. Not the plants problem.
