Foamflower is one of the showiest of all spring-blooming wildflowers and an excellent shade garden plant! The large white flower spikes are often accented with a tinge of pink, with handsome 'mapleleaf' foliage that stays attractive all summer, and turns a beautiful red in autumn. Tiarella cordifolia requires a rich soil. Hardy to Zones 4 - 7.

Clump-forming perennial resembling Heuchera with pointed lobed leaves coming directly from the rhizome; slower to spread than other Tiarellas. Narrow, erect stems with many small, fuzzy, white flowers tinged faintly pink. Useful to add delicacy in shaded rock gardens and as a groundcover where there is little foot traffic. Thrives in shade with rich soil that does not dry out. Regular water. Hardy to 0 °F. Appalachians.
