- Comments
- The exotic ornamental candytuft sometimes escapes. Whether this particular plant from south of Crestone (Saguache Co, 2024) was cultivated or cultivated and escaped remains to be seen. There are no other records of Iberis amara from the Watershed, or indeed from the entire Rio Grande drainage.. In Colorado, Ackerfield (2022) shows escapes recorded from the Boulder/Denver area. BONAP shows a very scattered USA distribution, with occurrences in southern California, Utah, western Montana, Michigan, and several east coast states.
