Candytuft
Iberis umbellata
A showy annual flower native to the Mediterranean region of Europe.
Globe Candytuft was established in early colonial American gardens, and Bernard McMahon offered it in his 1804 broadsheet. It is a showy annual that forms dense mounds about twelve inches high, covered with flowers in early spring.
In Bloom at Monticello is made possible by support from The Richard D. and Carolyn W. Jacques Foundation.
