Candytuft
(Iberis)
Hardy to Zone 4
Bloom Time - Late March, early April
Color - White, lavender, pink, purple
Foliage - Small, leathery, dark green
Size - Under 1 ft., spreading
Exposure - Full sun or light shade
Culture - I know spring has arrived when I see candytuft blooming. An excellent plant for edging and one that is highly dependable and tough. Candytuft is also an excellent plant for rock gardens where it looks great scampering around rocks. It is easily transplanted and very easy to grow in average well-drained soil. Also easy to grow from seed. This is an evergreen plant and it can be sheared back after it has finished blooming.
