Globe Candytuft is a showy annual that forms dense mounds about twelve inches high, covered with flowers in early spring. The range of colors is broad, including deep purple, lavender, deep rose, light pink, cream, and white. Globe Candytuft was established in early colonial American gardens, and Bernard McMahon offered it in his 1804 broadsheet. Sow seeds in early spring, either indoors for transplanting outside, of directly outdoors. Globe Candytuft grows best in full sun and in well drained soils.
Approximately 90-110 seeds per pack.
