One of our most beautiful native perennials, foamflower becomes a show-stopper in April-May, when it produces hundreds of narrow, upright “bottlebrush-type” blooms of delicate white flowers, which stand well above the foliage for all to admire. This clump-former grows 12 to 15” in height and does not spread by runners. However, when plants grow close together, it makes an excellent groundcover or edging for shady or naturalized areas. In the fall, it can put on a brilliant show of pumpkin-orange colors. Dr. Richard Lighty, the former director of the Mt. Cuba Center in Delaware, selected this cultivar for its outstanding value as a landscape plant. Tiarella prefers moist, rich, organic, well-drained soil in full to partial shade. Do not let the soil dry out. Hardy to Zone 5.
