It's an oldie but a goodie. Once an indispensable part of any flower garden, candytuft isn't seen as often as it deserves to be these days. The low-growing plants produce a pastel palette of blooms that all-but cover the plants, making them an ideal choice for edging or a charming filler for mixed flower pot gardens. Easy to germinate, and well-adapted to poor soils, a little aftercare ensures a steady supply of sweet summer blooms in candy colours.
