Tiarella

'Spring Symphony'

 

Common Name:
Foamflower
Bloom color:
Pink
Height:

6" foliage - 12" flower

Bloom:
May
Hardiness:
Zone 5-7
Light:
Full to partial shade
Soil:
Evenly moist, well drained high in organic matter

Why you need this plant:      Dainty spikes of light pink flowers are breathtaking when viewed en masse as a sea of foam. Maple-like leaves have dark painted centers. Useful to add delicacy in shaded rock gardens and as a companion for Hostas and ferns. Herbaceous. 

 
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.
