Quarter-inch flowers in a mix of lilac, pink, and alpine blossoms cascade across compact plants that stay drought tolerant and bloom prolifically all season. The upright growth habit and modest 12 to 18-inch height make Empress Mixture ideal for tucking into tight spaces along walkways and borders without dominating the landscape. These hardy annuals thrive in full sun and mature quickly in just 70 to 79 days, rewarding gardeners with color from early summer straight through to frost.
Empress Mixture Iberis shines as a decorative accent plant for garden architecture and hardscaping. Use it to highlight and frame walkways, line borders, soften fence edges, brighten patios, or invigorate tired flower beds with continuous color. The compact upright form works equally well in formal garden schemes and casual cottage plantings.
