Better Versions® Summer Snowdrift Candytuft Plant

Exceptional pure white blooms that last

The Summer Snowdrift Candytuft Plant elevates traditional Iberis with pure white flowers and an extremely long flowering window, creating a longer selling season and extended garden color. Unlike many other candytuft varieties that bloom only in early to mid spring, Summer Snowdrift flowers later and continues longer, helping bridge seasonal gaps for weeks of seamless white blooms. Even better, it requires no vernalization to flower, ensuring reliable performance without the need for prolonged cold exposure. Its extended bloom time helps expand the Iberis selling window in the South, where it performs beautifully in warmer conditions.

True to its name, this low-mounding plant forms a dense blanket of bright white blooms that resemble freshly fallen snow. Glossy green foliage provides a rich backdrop that makes the flowers stand out even more. With high heat tolerance, it works exceptionally well as an alternative to Lobularia in mixed containers, offering similar brightness with stronger performance in warm climates. In the South, it acts as a tender perennial, while Northern gardeners can enjoy it as a brilliant annual. Recognized as a Colorado State University Outstanding Plant of 2018, Summer Snowdrift delivers improved versatility, longer bloom, and dependable performance across regions.
