Candy Tuft

The perennial plant that is pictured above is candytuft. I added it to my landscape last year. As you can see by the date, I snapped this picture in mid-April. Just yesterday I deadheaded the plant because the blooms had finally faded. Since I deadheaded it, maybe it will bloom again for me later this season. (If it does, I’ll let you know!) I have a group of three of these planted on a sloped area by my driveway. The idea was to create a white carpet cascading down the side of the small hill. It bloomed about the same time as my creeping phlox providing me early spring color. Give it a try!
