Growing and Maintenance Tips

Grow Candytuft in an area that gets at least four hours of direct sun in well drained soil. Plants in too much shade will be leggy and fail to flower well. Avoid overly rich soils or adding additional fertilizer. The plant is evergreen so do not cut it back in the fall. Prune the flowers just as they are fading to maintain a lush habit and possibly another bloom cycle.
