Candytuft (Iberis Umbellata) - This wildflower is so easy to grow from Candytuft seeds! Annual Candytuft is a wildflower that is just about as wonderful as its cousin which is perennial Candytuft. When planted from wildflower seed, it begins flowering within just a few short months with colors ranging from white to pink to purple. It is taller and less compact than perennial Candytuft, but as you can see, the colors are striking and it makes a wonderful addition to the wildflower seed garden or to use as a taller ground cover plant.
