Free-blooming plants with clusters of white, lavender, lilac, pink, rose, purple, carmine, or crimson flowers.   Perennial candytufts bloom in spring; can be used as winter annuals in Coastal South.  Annual species bloom in spring and summer; they are most floriferous when nights are cool.  Use all types for borders, cutting; perennials for edging, rock gardens, small-scale ground covers, containers.
