Perennials Evergreen broadleaf |
Candytuft is a low growing, evergreen perennial, often used as ground-covering plants. ABSOLUTELY AMETHYST is a variety bred by Silvia Hofmann from InnovaPlant GmbH in Gensingen, Germany, in 2004. It is a breakthrough achievement with dark coloured flowers. Patent No. PP23048 was granted in 2012.
ABSOLUTELY AMETHYST candytuft is a beautiful variety with mauve flowers atop upright, sparsely leaved, 15-20 cm tall stems. They come out from May and bloom until late June or early July. If lightly trimmed after flowering it will make a denser tuft and possibly a weaker flush of flowers in late summer. Leaves are deep green, narrowly lanceolate, evergreen, and rather matte.
Candytuft is cultivated in well-drained but moist soil of neutral to alkaline pH. It loves full sun. Like most mat-forming perennials this one, too, will benefit from light trimming after flowering. It will help it remain compact and bushy. This candytuft variety is hardy to about -34 °C (USDA zone 4).
