‘Purity’ Candytuft delivers a clean sweep of bright white blooms each spring, bringing a fresh, finished look to beds, borders, and rock gardens. Its low, spreading habit makes it ideal for softening edges and filling in tough, bare spaces. After bloom, dense green foliage holds its shape and keeps things looking tidy all season. Built for our climate, it handles Wyoming winters with ease and comes back strong each year. Plant in well-drained soil—once established, it’s a dependable, drought-tolerant groundcover. A simple, hardworking plant that earns its place in any low-maintenance landscape.
Throughout this site, the following are used as guidelines for watering established plants:
These truly xeric plants can live with our 12 inches of natural annual precipitation and only need a winter watering during a multi-year drought, but they will thrive with a monthly watering. Overwatering will kill some of these. These plants are adapted to intermittent deep
watering with soil drying to a depth of a few inches between waterings. Watering frequency may be every couple of weeks during the active growing season and maybe only one winter watering for optimal care. These plants need regular watering somewhat like a bluegrass lawn so that
they never dry to depth in the root system during the active growing season, and need occasional winter watering to prevent root dessication and resultant plant
death. About sizes of our plants:
Sizes indicated with a # are roughly the equivalent in gallonage; so a #2 is about a 2 gallon pot size; b&b stands for balled and burlapped.
