#ProPlantTips for Care:
This woodland perennial is easy to grow! A hardy cultivar of the North America native and grows in a neat clump to decorate the dappled shade, partial shade, to full shade. Doing best in full shade in the hotter of its favored USDA hardiness zones 4 to 9. Tiarella thrives in humus-rich, moisture-retentive soil and appreciates well-drained soils that are enriched with compost and top-dressed with 3-4 inches of mulch.
Foamflower remains evergreen in warmer climates and is an herbaceous perennial in cooler climates. Deadhead after the flowers fade and then prune back these plants in the early spring before new growth emerges, mowing over larger mass plantings. While not necessary all the time, Foamflower can be divided every 3-5 years.
