Plant seedlings outdoors after your last frost date, spacing 6 to 12 inches apart. Keep fairly well watered, allowing to dry out slightly between waterings since candytuft is slightly drought-resistant. Globe candytuft needs average, well-drained soil and full sun with some afternoon shade where summers are hot. In zones 8-10 of the U.S.D.A. Plant Hardiness Map, try sowing globe candytuft a second time in late summer for autumn and early winter bloom. Make sure candytuft has good drainage.
