Does anyone know if Iberis sempervirens (perennial candytuft) comes in any colors other than white? I have a white Iberis sempervirens ("little gem") that I love, but I have seen light purple and pink candytufts and I like them even better. I know there is an annual candytuft (Iberis umbellata) that comes in different colors but I don't really do many annuals (unless they are willing to reseed themselves.) If you know of any names of perennial varieties that come in purple or pink I would love to know. Thanks!

Iberis (Candytuft)
As far as I know it comes in white, blanche, snow, pearl, ivory and white. Just kidding. Trying to come up with numerous ways to say white... been known to be a wiseass now and again. Sorry...
Iberis saxatilis, a mound-forming perennial suitable for the sunny rockery, has flowers that open white and then change to pale pink as they age.
