Rocket Candytuft - (Iberis amara) |
|
|
Low bushy plants produce abundant brilliant, sweet-scented flowers in a mix of fairy colors all summer. Mounds up to 2' in diameter boast shiny green foliage. A Colonial favorite, Candytuft was always included in the herb garden as a treatment for rheumatism and used for centuries as a seasoning. Because of the extreme ease of its cultivation, it's great for a child’s garden.
Purple forms of candytuft were in European gardens by the last 1500s when this was know as "Billy-Come-Home-Soon". Butterflies love it. It was hard to decide whether to put this in herbs or flowers!
