Tiarella cordifolia, also known as foamflower, is a low-growing perennial with beautifully patterned, heart-shaped leaves and delicate white flowers that appear in spring. This shade-loving plant is ideal as ground cover under trees and shrubs, along woodland edges, in shaded borders, and naturalistic gardens. Tiarella cordifolia thrives best in humus-rich, moisture-retentive soil in partial to full shade. It is low-maintenance, hardy, and attracts bees and butterflies.
Please note: Plants are living products and may vary from photos and descriptions. Minor imperfections may occur but usually recover once planted in your garden. Our plants are strong and supplied in nursery pots, directly from our partner growers.
