When to plant perennial candytuft
Propagate perennial candytuft by seed or stem cuttings; stems also root where they touch the soil (NC State). Plant in full sun (light shade is tolerated but flowering is more profuse in sun) in moist to slightly dry, well-drained soil, and shear it back by a third after flowering.
Perennial Candytuft is timed by season rather than your frost dates, so the planting calendar does not generate ZIP-specific dates for it. Check the cited sources below to fine-tune for your area.
