Snowflake Candytuft
Snowflake candytuft is an evergreen perennial flower with dark green, glossy leaves. It grows as a nice mound. This cultivar was selected to provide greater uniformity is height and growth habit.
In May, tiny sparkling white flowers form flat clusters. The flowers are very attractive at full bloom when the flowers completely cover the leaves.
Because the leaves stay green throughout the winter, candytuft provides interest throughout the year. The mounds do not spread much in width.
