If a groundcover is going be covering my ground, it better do more than just that. I expect my groundcover to bloom too. Candytuft must have gotten that message, because bloom it does.
Let’s try that paragraph again with a capital BLOOM:

Ok, I give up. No, no I don’t. I found a way to impress upon you just how beautiful perennial candytuft is.
The candytuft has been in my garden for about 10 years. It started out small, very small. I have been patient, very patient. Now, it makes quite a statement in the spring. When it finishes blooming, it will remain an attractive groundcover for the entire season.
The area gets some sun, some dappled shade. It gets no attention whatsoever, and definitely qualifies as a no maintenance plant.
It also qualifies as a wonderful entry for Garden Bloggers’ Bloom Day. Looking for more inspiration? To see what other bloggers have blooming on the 15th of every month, visit May Dreams Gardens.
Candytuft makes a big impact in your garden. That’s wonderful. I bet it glows at sunset and twilight. I’m always leery of groundcovers, but good ones are such workhorses. I’ve never grown candytuft, as I don’t have enough sun for it.
Just cut off the blooms of my candytuft today. Back down to foliage.
Nice…I love it when plants form nice colonies like that…so beautiful!
