Solved What is this plant please?

View attachment 120817 Sorry for the bad quality picture - my mum has given me a cutting off a perennial in her garden and neither of us know its name. Any ideas? Thanks!

Edit :added better picture now apologies!

 

Tried zooming in...need clear close up pic.

Just a long shot...maybe Kalmia polifolia compacta alba

 

Sorry @Silver surfer , I'm thinking more along the alpine route. Perhaps a Silene or Saxifrage.

 

I did say it was a long shot.
Might be a million miles out.

trimmed pic below.

 

I thought maybe a white Heather.

 

Sorry there we go folks x

 

That's done it @Leanne2511 , it's Iberis Sempervirens ( Perennial Candytuft ). A beautiful little Sub-Shrub. That means it grows like a shrub but doesn't grow large.

 

Clear pic really helps.
Ignore my suggestion.
Iberis it is!

 

Can I suggest it would look so much better with dark slate or similar chippings, the white background just loses the effect.
I give mine a hard cut back after flowering, keeps it compact.

 

I grew iberis as a large group ....maybe 15 of them....with a similar group of alyssum saxatile on a sunny bank. Very eye catching in spring and a combination I can recommend

 

Hi @Verdun I currently have a small cluster of iberis next to a small cluster of lithodora grace ward. There is gap at the front that I haven't decided what to do yet. It would be nice to have a clearly defined edge. If I filled that with a row of aurinia, would it fit or would it crowd the others out. Everything is on the level. Until everything is mature it's difficult to know how big these plants are going to be.

We'll let @Verdun answer that one then shall we. It seems he's the only one with the experience to do it.
