Iberis
All other Iberis Early Spring finish. Absolutely Amethyst
Pinch 1-2 times: soft pinch at liner planting & again 4 weeks later to maintain even growth.
General pest and disease practices as listed in notes.
-Size pots up in late fall and then put to bed for winter. In spring add a bit of heat for color development.
-Absolutely Amethyst flowers in late spring and early summer rather than in early spring when other Iberis flower.
Habit and flowering will be improved with vernalization.
Planting & Timing Information: Like most perennials - Order liners in summer and transplant into finished container size. After growing through the fall treat as you would other perennials and allow plants to go dormant through the winter.
- All other Iberis Early Spring finish. Absolutely Amethyst Late Spring Finish.
-Winter foliage is purple in color and spring emergence of Absolutely Amethyst is later than other Iberis, by about 4-6 weeks. Absolutely Amethyst flowers much later than traditional Iberis roughly 6-8 weeks later so plan on late spring finish only for Absolutely Amethyst
