Snowsurfer™ Forte Evergreen Candytuft

Snowsurfer™ Forte is Syngenta’s mounding product in its Snowsurfer candytuft series, with white flowers and a compact garden form. The Royal Horticultural Society lists “Snowsurfer Forte” as a trade name and “Ibsz0002” as its synonym; Syngenta gives the product a mature size of 6–12 inches tall by 12–18 inches wide, early-to-mid spring flowering, full-sun exposure, and USDA zones 4a–9a. [RHS listing](https://www.rhs.org.uk/plants/511260/iberis-sempervirens-snowsurfer-forte-ibsz0002/details) and [Syngenta Flowers](https://www.syngentaflowers.com/ams/product/flower/70028047) document the named selection. ## Siting Give it full sun and well-drained soil. NC State describes *Iberis sempervirens* as evergreen in warmer climates and semi-evergreen in colder climates; the species tolerates light shade and prefers moist to slightly dry soil, but performs poorly in wet or poorly drained ground. It is drought tolerant once established. The species works as a groundcover, edging, border, container, or rock-garden plant, and NC State notes flowers attract butterflies and birds. Syngenta describes Snowsurfer™ Forte as pollinator friendly. [NC State Extension](https://plants.ces.ncsu.edu/plants/iberis-sempervirens/) and [Syngenta Flowers](https://www.syngentaflowers.com/ams/product/flower/70028047) support these siting and use details. ## Bloom and foliage Syngenta lists early- to mid-spring flowering and a mounding habit for this product. NC State describes the species’ small white flowers in dense clusters, dark-green leathery leaves, and a broader April-to-July flowering season; that longer span is a species-level range, not a cultivar-specific calendar. [Syngenta Flowers](https://www.syngentaflowers.com/ams/product/flower/70028047) and [NC State Extension](https://plants.ces.ncsu.edu/plants/iberis-sempervirens/) describe these traits. ## Maintenance After flowering, cut or shear the plant back by about one-third to encourage fresh growth. In cold climates, mulch to help limit winter damage. Avoid waterlogged soil. [NC State Extension](https://plants.ces.ncsu.edu/plants/iberis-sempervirens/).
