Growing Information

How to Sow

Candytuft germinates very easily. Simply choose a sunny spot and prepare the soil with a little added compost. Sow your seeds in drills or scatter them thinly and keep the soil surface damp until they germinate. Once they are up and growing they will get by with less frequent watering.
