{"product_id":"snowflake-candytuft-bare-root-plant","title":"Snowflake Candytuft - Bare Root Plant","description":"\u003cp\u003eSnowflake is an evergreen candytuft that blankets itself in large clusters of pure white flowers from mid to late spring. It is a selection grown from cuttings, so plants are consistent in height and habit, which makes for even edging.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt forms a low mat about 8 to 10 inches tall and 1 to 2 feet wide, with narrow evergreen leaves that stay green through winter. It is drought tolerant once established, and it is well suited to rock gardens, wall crevices, walkway edges and small-scale groundcover.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat it looks like\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNarrow, glossy, dark green evergreen leaves line short, woody-based stems in a dense cushion. In mid to late spring, large, rounded clusters of small, pure white, four-petaled flowers cover the plant almost completely. The plant forms a uniform, low, spreading mat about 8 to 10 inches tall and 12 to 24 inches wide. Outside of bloom it stays a tidy, dark green mound. At peak it looks like a low drift of snow along a border edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eGrowing it with lavender\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eCandytuft likes the same sun and sharp drainage as lavender, and its white spring carpet makes a clean edging in front of lavender, blooming weeks before the lavender opens and staying evergreen after.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eGrow in full sun in well-drained soil, from lean to average; it handles drought once established and dislikes wet winter soil. Hardy in zones 3-9. Shear the stems back by about a third after flowering to keep the plant dense and tidy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAt a glance\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBotanical name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Iberis sempervirens\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlower color:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pure white\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFoliage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Glossy dark green, evergreen\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth habit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Low, uniform spreading mat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMature size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8–10 in tall × 12–24 in wide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUSDA hardiness zones:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3–9\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLight:\u003c\/strong\u003e full sun\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBloom start:\u003c\/strong\u003e Late-April\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePeak bloom:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mid-May\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBloom pattern:\u003c\/strong\u003e Single Flush\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDeer resistance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Moderately resistant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePollinator value:\u003c\/strong\u003e Good\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSizes and shipping\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDormant bare-root plant, sold in boxes of 25 per variety (order in multiples of 25).
