Interesting Notes
Foam Flowers are just one of nearly 700 species of the Saxifrage Family, whose members are largely distributed throughout mountainous areas of the Northern Hemisphere. Tiarella is found primarily in rich woods of New England extending south to the higher elevations of the Carolinas, though a varient species Tiarella cordifolia var. collina, of very similar appearance has a range extending into much of the North Carolina piedmont. This perennial herb blooms from April to June.Wild Ones
Growing and Maintenance Tips
Prefers moist, rich, organic, well-drained soils in full to part shade. Do not let soil dry out. Stoloniferous, but this variety spreads more slowly than others. Propagate by seed or spring division. Makes an excellent groundcover or edging for shady or naturalized areas.
