Useful and beautiful, Candytuft provides showy color in virtually any sunny spot in the garden. Its low-growing habit and puffs of tiny pink, violet and white flowers make it perfect for edging along walkways. Adds deer-resistant spot color in rock gardens. Great in containers. For a dramatic mixed border planting that also attracts butterflies and hummingbirds, place in front of Purple Coneflower (Echinacea purpurea), Cosmos (Cosmos bipinnatus) and Clarkia (see Farewell-to-Spring) (Clarkia amoena).
