(Iberis Sempervirens)

SPECIAL QUALITIES

Candytuft is a favourite because of its great show of pure white flowers in large clusters across the entire plant.

FLOWERS

Clustered heads of white flowers cover the plant from late winter to mid spring.

POSITION & USES

Candytuft prefers full sun and well drained soil. It can be massed in the front of a perennial bed, used to edge paths and planted amongst rocks or in retaining wall pockets. It also looks lovely mixed with other perennials or annuals in pots or planters.

CULTIVATION

Easily grown in soil that is not boggy. Fertilise as growth begins in winter. Lightly trim when flowers finish, to promote another flush.

FERTILISING

Regular applications of Seasol and Power Feed will keep it looking its best.
