Iberis Umbellata

The Candy Tuft is one of those annuals which contribute generally to enliven the borders of the flower garden its usual colour is a pale purple, there is also a white variety of it, and another with deep but very bright purple flowers, the most desirable of the three, but where a garden is large enough to admit of it, all the varieties may be sown.For want of due discrimination, as Miller has before observed, Nurserymen are apt to collect and mix with this species the seeds of another, viz. the amara, and which persons not much skilled in plants consider as the white variety, but a slight attention will discover it to be a very different plant, having smaller and longer heads, differing also in the shape of its leaves and seed vessels, too trifling a plant indeed to appear in the flower garden.Purple Candy Tuft is a native of the South of Europe, and flowers in June and July it should be sown in the spring, on the borders of the flower garden in patches, when the plants come up, a few only should be left, as they will thereby become stronger, produce more flowers, and be of longer duration.
