need plant ID

I planted this quite a while ago. It is doing well, but I don't remember the name of the plant. It seems to like some shade, and lots of water. It doesn't like full sun. It will soon be covered in little white flowers. If you look closely, there are a couple of small white flowers blooming already.

It looks like some sort of alyssum, just starting to bloom.

Thanks pepperhead. I do agree that it looks like it could be alyssum, I don't think that it is. The flowers on my plant are single. Alyssum has flower clusters.
It sort of looks like Sweet Woodruff, but I don't think that is it either.
I might have the tag somewhere.
I dug up some of it, so I would like to figure out what it is for whomever I give the starts to.

OK - I thought that those feathery things in the plants looked like unopened clusters, and the single white ones were just starting. I'm not a flower grower, and the alyssum is the only non-food one I have out there!

I found the tag: CANDYTUFT ‘Purity’, Iberia sempervirens
