Candytuft ‘Fairy Mix’ is a delightful annual that forms low, compact mounds of fragrant, flat-topped blooms in pastel shades of pink, lavender, purple, and white. Thriving in Pakistan’s winter–spring season, it’s ideal for sunny borders, rock gardens, and containers. This drought-tolerant beauty attracts bees and butterflies, blooms in early spring, and requires minimal care once established.
