Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Our own mix of fragrant white rocket candytuft blended with the flat topped clusters of Iberis umbellata in harmonious shades of lavender, pink, and violet. Candytuft is a hardy little flower, and can be sown very early. It blooms all season in cooler summer areas, in other areas sow successively, for it takes only 6 weeks to flower from sowing. Regular, not overly rich soil suits it best.
