Reaching roughly 12 to 18 inches tall, it produces a profusion of fragrant flower heads that open from late spring into midsummer, creating a soft, airy texture that suits cottage borders, meadow plantings, and mixed wildflower beds. Its compact habit and crisp white flowers make it a classic choice for gardeners seeking a low-maintenance annual that fills space quickly and beautifully.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOften grown as an ornamental annual, Empress Rocket Candytuft works well massed in beds, edging pathways, or blended into wildflower and pollinator-friendly plantings where its nectar-rich flowers draw bees and other beneficial insects. It thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, tolerates poorer ground, and self-sows readily where conditions suit it, rewarding growers with fresh seedlings the following season. For best results, direct sow after the last frost or start indoors several weeks earlier.\u003cbr\u003e\nSpecies: Iberis amara\u003cbr\u003e\nVariety: Empress Rocket\u003cbr\u003e\nType: Annual wildflower\u003cbr\u003e\nPlant Habit: Compact, mounding\u003cbr\u003e\nSun: Full sun\u003cbr\u003e\nSoil: Well-drained, average to poor fertility\u003cbr\u003e\nDays to Harvest: Not applicable\u003cbr\u003e\nZones: 3-9 as an annual\u003cbr\u003e\nGermination: 10-20 days at 65-70F\u003cbr\u003e\nSowing: Direct sow after last frost or start indoors 4-6 weeks before\u003cbr\u003e\nSpacing: 8-12 inches apart\u003cbr\u003e\nNotes: Hardy annual; self-sows readily\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67664729505928,"sku":"AGY-031","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0717\/4648\/6408\/files\/il_fullxfull.8166443491_ke7l_7848dc95-e463-406f-ba68-36c75d65564b.jpg?v=1791898224","url":"https:\/\/www.natesgardensupply.com\/products\/100-empress-rocket-candytuft-seeds-iberis-amara-wildflower-pollinator-cottage-garden","provider":"Nate's Garden Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
