Candytuft
In stock · from $15.99
Earlier and longer blooming than older candytuft varieties. Tidy, compact green foliage stays green through winter and becomes a cushion of clusters of small white flowers in spring. Drought tolerant once established and easy to care for. Removing spent blooms after the first wave can encourage a second round of blooming. Wonderful groundcover, garden border, mass planting, or container plant.
