Interesting Notes
Another useful group of plants for the shade garden are the foamflowers (Tiarella cordifolia). This woodland native makes an excellent groundcover, with its running mounds of fuzzy maple-shaped leaves and delicate upright spikes of foamy white to pink flowers. Hybridizers have been busy with this plant in recent years, and now we have a whole menagerie of interesting leaf forms to complement the spring blossoms.
