    Plant Type: Perennials

    A blanket of pure white! Quarter-sized clusters of flowers carpet the narrow, evergreen leaves from mid to late spring. An old-time favorite, Candytuft is a charming plant for perennial gardens. Because of its drought tolerance, it makes a great filler for crevices in walls or between the stones of walkways. It is also effective as edging or ground cover.
