GROWING INSTRUCTIONS
How to Grow Candytuft
Candytuft care involves planting in well
draining, alkaline soil [2] in a sunny location as the candytuft plant won’t
grow in shade or overly damp soil. Acidic soil may need amendments such as lime
[3] to produce the candytuft plant. Growing candytuft is worth the effort as
the delicate flowers appear in early spring through summer, often reblooming in
fall.
The candytuft flower is usually white, but some
cultivars have pink or lilac blooms. This plant does well in gravelly soil,
making it a perfect small specimen for a sunny rock garden or border planting.
Once blooms of the candytuft flower are spent,
cut the entire candytuft plant back to ground level to avoid woodiness of the
stems. This should be done at least every other year to prevent this short,
blooming beauty from becoming too tall with spindly growth. The candytuft plant
is actually a woody plant, but is most attractive when treated as an herbaceous
perennial. [4]
Growing candytuft from seeds or cuttings is a
money-saving way to have more of the aesthetically pleasing plants. Sow seeds
of the candytuft flower directly into flower beds when soil has warmed to about
70 degrees F. (21 C.). Softwood cuttings of existing plants propagate easily
during midsummer for more candytuft flowers to plant in your gardens or to
share with friends.
Uses for Candytuft Plant
Botanically known as Iberis semperiverns, masses
of striking blooms appear on the well-kept candytuft flower. The white
candytuft flower is compatible with a range of tall, blooming annuals and
perennials and is the perfect height to cover tall, bloomless stems of flowers
such as zinnia [5], cosmos [6], and evening primrose [7].
Candytuft flowers are handy to cover up
declining foliage of early spring blooming bulbs. Candytuft flowers look lovely
spilling over a wall or draping from a hanging basket. Now that you know the
many uses of this plant and how to grow candytuft, you’ll want to give it a
prominent spot in your summer garden.
