With glossy green leaves and the familiar cluster of snow white flowers, often tinged with pink or purple, candytuft is another wildflower that was taken into garden centuries ago. It has a rich herbal history, and was considered a cure for rheumatism in colonial America. Candytuft is a member of the mustard family, thus the 4 petals per flower, and its use for centuries as a seasoning.

"Love the seeds and resulting flowers. REALLY NEED explicit planting directions-- especially if scanning my seed package"
"#sweepstakes. They finally came up in my wretched soil. They would have stayed longer had I watered them beyond depending upon the weather. They don't grow too high, which is what I like because, otherwise, flower stems can bend and the plant's blossom be bent over. I'm still waiting to hear if they are perennials or annuals, as to the discrepancies on your site, but I will know next year for sure! #sweepstakes."
"I put this on a slope to help hold the soil"
"I just had to come here and post the beautiful picture. It's the 1st thing that has come up in the Meadow I planted pretty late. And it's now July."
"I use the Candytuft in rock walls and borders. Works really well on those steep surfaces that are hard to plant. Seeds sprouted quickly and are growing nicely. This was my second order, so I must be pleased!"
"Hardy and beautiful - mostly purple (not white) - but wow they spring up and nothing can stop them from blooming wildly - an easy solution for many areas - full or part sun - and the worse the soil the better they seem to like it"
"I planted these really late spring/early summer and it was HOT, so I didn't think they would bloom. But they grew like weeds and are gorgeous. I hope they come back next year."
"I just sprinkled the seeds in a wild area. They go no care and grew just fine. Very pretty and easy!"
"It grows easily and is pretty."
"Planted these in a big (6 x 15) area with some other flowers in a sunny spot down the side of a storage building with a few other flowers. Since I planted these in the spring I was a little disappointed when none of them came up that year. However- the following spring and summer there were a LOT of them. Just as many came up this year, too."
