Just out of curiosity, which Candytuft is this? There are several species.

In Britain candytuft refers to the genus Iberis, Tugbrethil. There are a number of species of annuals and perennials and, as far as I know, all are hardy.

Oh....I thought that I. gibraltica wasn't hardy, but I was wrong! : ]

Yes Charles, you will have no problem with the hardiness of candytuft. I suspect that it would probably grow within the arctic circle!
In fact, out of interest, I have just done a web search and found it growing in a garden in Finland!
