Does anybody now know what they are? They are just beginning to flower.


Could be Iberis sempervirens - that's a small sub-shrubby, perennial


I would go with that (rather than Rupert's suggestion of the Cerastium
tomentosum which is visibly hairy).


type of candytuft, with masses of white flowers in spring. I find it
responds well to a good trim after it's finished, which keeps it neat.
Check Google images for pictures to compare with your plants.


Looks bang on!

Yes Iberis-just testing you. Obviously unpruned.
