Candytufts

Candytufts

Candytufts are originally European natives that have
become all-purpose perenniels with an ability to adapt
themselves to every region in the United States.

With their whiter-than-white blooms
(which also come in pink or lilac) candytufts are among
the best flowers for cutting & arranging.

Depending on the variety, versatile candytufts can be
either planted in backyard flower beds, rock gardens
and along edgings, or used in pots, containers,
hanging baskets or window boxes.

Candytufts prefer full sun - although they will tolerate,
but not bloom as well, in part shade.

The one thing candytufts will not tolerate is being waterlogged,
and are known to quickly develop root rot if not grown in
especially well-drained soil.
