Evergreen Candytuft is finally available in a color other than white! The large clusters of purple flowers blanket the foliage in late spring. The outermost flowers in each cluster are light lavender and the innermost flowers are deeper lavender, while the whole cluster is dotted with tiny yellow stamens. Blooms 4-6 weeks later than white Iberis.
An old-time favorite, Candytuft is a charming plant for perennial gardens. Because of its drought tolerance, it makes a great filler for crevices in walls or between the stones of walkways. It is also effective as edging or groundcover.
