This is the hardy annual, Candytuft, which doubtless because of the extreme ease of its cultivation, seems to have been relegated nowadays to the children’s garden. Why? They are beautiful plants for the border and their brilliant, sweet-scented flowers are produced in abundance all summer. Splendid for cutting, they also make attractive pot plants and, if a heated greenhouse is available, they can be had in flower during winter. Try it again this year!
Description:
