Latin name:Iberis amara
Candytuft care involves planting in well draining, alkaline soil in a sunny location as the candytuft plant won¡¯t grow in shade or overly damp soil. Acidic soil may need amendments such as lime to produce the candytuft plant. Growing candytuft is worth the effort as the delicate flowers appear in early spring through summer, often reblooming in fall.
The candytuft flower is usually white, but some cultivars have pink or lilac blooms.Sow seeds of the candytuft flower directly into flower beds when soil has warmed to about 70 degrees. Softwood cuttings of existing plants propagate easily during mid summer for more candytuft flowers to plant in your gardens or to share with friends. |
