Candytuft Iberis amara ‘White Pinnacle’ – Organic Seeds
Candytuft ‘White Pinnacle’ is an easy-going annual which grows and flowers extremely fast to form drifts of densely headed flowers in pristine white all through summer. Its low, spreading nature lends itself to filling gaps in borders and containers or for edging a sunny path and it provides useful ground cover in poor soils. The dainty flowers smell lovely and are good for attracting hoverflies and other pollinators. ‘White Pinnacle’ is especially well suited to cut flowers as it boasts tall stems which make airy additions to bouquets. After the flowers have finished they leave behind beautiful whirls of green seed pods which can be used in dry arrangements. Height: 30cm (12). Spread: 40cm (16).Culinary note: Both the leaves and flowers of candytuft can be eaten raw and have a taste similar to that of a sweet broccoli. For more details about edible flowers click here.
