Since iberis do well in moderate cold you can plant them a little earlier in the year than other plants that might not handle the cold.

The last month that you can plant iberis and expect a good harvest is probably October. You probably don't want to wait any later than that or else your iberis may not have a chance to grow to maturity. You can get started a little bit earlier by starting your iberis indoors.
