A compact heirloom annual ground cover for borders, rock gardens, edging, and containers across USDA zones 3–10.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFOUR-COLOR FRAGRANT BLOOM CLUSTERS: Flat-topped flower clusters reach 1–2 in. across in pink, carmine, white, and lavender. Blooms from late spring through summer; deadhead or shear after first flush to encourage a second round of flowers.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLOW-GROWING GROUND COVER FOR BORDERS AND EDGING: Dwarf Fairy Mix Candytuft reaches just 8–10 in. tall with a dense mounding spread, making it ideal for front-of-border plantings, rock gardens, raised bed edging, and cottage garden paths.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGERMINATES IN 14 TO 21 DAYS: Surface-sow at no more than ⅛ in. deep, seeds need light to germinate. Optimal soil temperature is 70–75°F. Thin seedlings to 8–10 in. apart after emergence for the best mounding coverage.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTHRIVES IN POOR AND ROCKY SOILS: Candytuft seeds (Iberis umbellata) adapt to alkaline-to-neutral, well-drained soils including poor and rocky ground. Drought tolerant once established; avoid wet, heavy clay sites where root rot can occur.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePOLLINATOR-FRIENDLY FLAT-TOPPED CLUSTERS: The wide, flat bloom heads of Dwarf Fairy Mix Candytuft serve as natural landing pads for bees, butterflies, and hoverflies. Iberis umbellata is also listed as a moth caterpillar host plant.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDIRECT SOW AFTER LAST FROST FOR BEST RESULTS: Candytuft does not transplant well, so direct sow outdoors after the last frost date. If starting indoors 6–8 weeks early, use individual pots to minimize root disturbance. Plants may naturally self-seed in favorable conditions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDEER-RESISTANT AND RABBIT-RESISTANT ANNUAL: Dwarf Fairy Mix Candytuft is typically avoided by deer and rabbits, making it a practical choice for garden beds, borders, and wildflower seed packet plantings in areas with browsing pressure.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHEIRLOOM, OPEN-POLLINATED, NON-GMO SEEDS: Each pack contains 250 heirloom, open-pollinated, non-GMO Candytuft seeds.
