HYPOXIS. Star-Grass. (Amaryllidaceae, Amaryllis Family) 
Hypoxis hirsutus. A dainty little May flowering plant from our Eastern woodlands that 
deserves a place in some shaded nook in your rock garden, A little clump of very 
long grass-like, hairy green leaves and stems about 6 inches high bearing vivid 
yellow stars in May and sometimes through the summer, It likes shade and an acid 
woodsy soil. (pH 5-6) These should be planted close together in thick colonies 
_for a good show. 
IBERIS. Candytuft. (Cruciferae, Mustard Family) 
Iberis gibraltarica. An attractive shrubby plant about 12 inches high with thick glossy 
green leaves and large showy clusters of flowers in April and May. The color 
varies from pale lilac to deep purple. It is lovely for rock gardens, edgings and 
borders. Easy to grow in a well drained garden soil in full sun. (pH 6-8) It is such 
a prolific bloomer that quite often it kills itself in the second or third year, however 
self sown seedlings spring up readily. 
Iberis saxatilis, One of the best and most interesting plants in the list. A tiny shrubby 
plan about 2 inches high, with dwarf, twisted branches and very small dark ever- 
green leaves in terminal clusters. It has large clusters of white flowers that com- 
pletely cover the plant in April and May. It looks like a tiny dwarf Japanese tree. 
It must have a well drained, gritty lime soil in full sun. (pH 7-8) This is the true 
form. 
Iberis saxavirens. (Iberis saxatilis hybrid) This is my own name for a very charming 
hybrid between Iberis saxatilis and I. sempervirens. It is a very dwarf, creeping 
mat forming plant about 2 inches high or lower. The slowly spreading little 
branches are densely coveréd with tiny evergreen leaves. It is a prolific bloomer, 
with the little clusters of flowers hiding the entire plant in late April and May. It 
makes a wonderful wall plant, An easy grower in a well drained garden soil in 
full sun. (pH 6-8) 
Iberis saxavirens Barbara,Lynch. A charming plant named for my charming neice. It 
is my own selected seedling of Iberis saxavirens. It is a vigorous grower that 
resembles J. saxatilis on a large scale. The gnarled, twisted branches are clothed 
with thick, pointed, dark green leaves and large clusters of waxy white flowers in 
May make this an outstanding rock garden or wall garden plant. It is easy to grow 
in a well drained garden soil in full sun. (pH 6-8)
