Candytuft
A nicely coloured mixture for making small posies! Candytuft produces many parasol-like flower heads in violet, pink and white. Iberis umbellata like it dry and in full sun. Seedlings are susceptible to flea beetle. After flowering they should be cut back to produce a second flush. Old fashioned favourite for border and window box.
