Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Not only is the foliage of this tiny 6" h x 12" with shade-lover remarkably highlighted with purple-black (especially in winter!), but it is absolutely covered with a foam of creamy-flowers in spring! PSh-Sh/M/GDr PPAF
The beautifully cut and marked leaves are secondary to the massive display of creamy-white flowers which virtually hide the foliage for weeks. We have no other pure white flowering Tiarella that is so floriferous. Nice compact clumping habit and winter bronzing. Brought back by popular demand.
