Why you need this plant:     

The Tiarella 'Heronswood Mist Foam Flower', Tiarella Hybrid , has distinctive, frothy blooms that set the stage for other spring flowers. This plant is a wonderful groundcover, and a mainstay of the shade or woodland garden. A great texture plant for shady corners.

Layers of cool pink, cream, and green mist across broad leaves, while the flower spikes have unique, shrimp-pink stems. Excellent re-bloomer.

 

 
Planting Info:       Foamflowers thrive in any area with partial to full shade and a moist soil, but will tolerate brief periods of drought.  In the fall, cut the stems down to the base but leave the foliage to protect new buds that will appear in spring.  Fertilize in early spring before early growth comes on and mulch with manure or leaf mold to contribute to the humus rich soil that foamflowers crave.
