Candytuft ‘Crown Mix’
Approx. 150 seeds.
A classic cottage‑garden annual that brings soft colour and gentle fragrance to any sunny spot. Candytuft ‘Crown Mix’ produces dense, sweetly scented flower heads in a blend of whites, pinks and lilacs, held on neat, upright stems that sit beautifully at the front of borders or along paths. It’s one of those easy, reliable plants that quietly earns its keep all summer.
This mix is incredibly versatile — perfect for borders, containers, window boxes and cut‑flower patches. The blooms are loved by pollinators for their honey‑scented nectar, and the strong stems make them ideal for cutting. With a natural ‘cut‑and‑come‑again’ habit, you’ll get a steady supply of flowers from early summer right into September.
Candytuft thrives in full sun and well‑drained soil, and it’s hardy enough to cope with cooler springs. Whether you’re filling gaps, softening edges or creating a drift of colour, this is a brilliant low‑maintenance choice.
