Description
An improved Candytuft, the dark green foliage of ‘Snow Cone’ is literally smothered with large cone-shaped snow white flowers that provided for an extended bloom period compared to other Iberis. Deadhead the spent flowers and you might get a second round of flowers. Mounding 6 to 8 inches tall with a spread to maybe 18 inches tall, the dark green evergreen foliage maintains its appearance during winter. An excellent low maintenance border or slope plant that the deer will turn their nose up to.
Landscape & Garden Uses
Growing 6 to 8 inches tall and spreading to form a mounding patch to 18 inches or more wide, the Snow Cone Candytuft is ideal for use as a border along paths, walkways or landscape and garden borders or on slopes. Perfect for interplanting with spring bulbs or a nice spiller plant in combination container gardens. A fine addition to white theme gardens and cottage gardens.
Suggested Spacing: 15 to 18 inches apart for solid border or mass plantings; 36 inches apart for space between plants
Growing Preferences
Candytuft is very easy to grow. It is adaptable to most any average to even poor soil. It prefers a moist but well-drained soil however is exceptionally tolerant of dry soil conditions. It tolerates some shade, but produces more of its pretty flowers with more sun. A good choice for poor soils and difficult sites. Looks beautiful in a container or spilling over a wall! Plant with the top of the root ball even with ground level. Care and maintenance are minimal. Feed in spring with an organic plant food. No pruning necessary
Plant Long & Prosper!
