Candytuft
Candytuft is an evergreen perennial flower with dark green, glossy leaves. It grows in a tidy mound.
In May, tiny sparkling white flowers form flat clusters. The flowers are very attractive at full bloom when they completely cover the leaves.
Because the leaves stay green throughout the winter, candytuft provides interest throughout the year. The mounds do not spread in width much in width.
