Candytuft (Iberis Umbellata) 



All authorities agree on the great decorative value of this 

 charming annual for beds, borders, rock gardens, etc., and the 

 larger the mass the better the effect. The plants grow about 12 

 inches high and will succeed in any light, airy position. Seed 

 may be sown any time during the spring. They bloom in about 

 eight weeks from the time of sowing, and in order to keep up a 

 succession of bloom two sowings should be made at intervals of 

 about two weeks. For best results give each plant sufficient space 

 for full development, not less than six inches apart and nine inches 

 is better. While highly useful for cutting, lasting well, and used 

 extensively for this purpose by many commercial florists, it is for 

 their bright effect in the garden that they are mainly grown.
