Iberis umbellata / Candytuft
Candytuft ‘Pinnacle White’ is a cool-season annual filler grown for tall white sprays and attractive green seedpods. It is quick, elegant, and useful, but it should be planned as a short-window specialty crop rather than a backbone crop. It shines when harvested young for airy white texture or allowed to move into fresh/dried seedpod material.

Candytuft Tall Mix
White / Filler
Candytuft Tall Mix is a quick, old-fashioned annual filler with compact clusters of white, pink, lilac, mauve, violet, and purple flowers. It is best grown in cool weather, full sun, and well-drained soil, then sold quickly into local bouquets, posies, subscriptions, and garden-style work. It is inexpensive and charming, but it should not be treated as a premium long-stem crop. Growers should trial a small block first, protect seedlings from flea beetles where needed, and succession sow if they want more than a short spring flush.
