Description: This low-growing, perennial ground cover is similar to Iberis Sempervirens Candytuft, except the flowers are lavender-pink instead of white. They open very pale and darken with age. It is fantastic when grown with dark green foliage plants as the combination is stunning! Gibraltar Candytuft blooms in the spring, and it may repeat bloom in late summer or fall. Candytuft will freely sow its own ground cover seed, so cut the plants back after blooming to reduce self-sowing and to keep the plants compact and bushy. Many gardeners will start Gibraltar Candytuft outdoors in a protected area or cold frame. Press the Candytuft seeds into the soil but do not cover them.Season: PerennialUSDA Zones: 5 - 9Height: 8 - 12 inchesBloom Season: Spring and summerBloom Color: LilacEnvironment: Full sun to partial shadeSoil Type: Well-drained, pH 5.8 - 6.8Deer Resistant: YesPlanting DirectionsTemperature: 40FAverage Germ Time: 21 - 28 daysLight Required: YesDepth: Do not cover but tightly press into the soilMoisture: Keep seeds moist until germination
