Foam Flower

About this plant

Tiarella cordifolia, often called Foam Flower, brings delicate beauty to shaded garden spaces. Its airy, spiky white flowers emerge in spring, resembling a foamy spray, and provide a lovely contrast to its deeply lobed, heart-shaped leaves. The foliage often features attractive burgundy markings and can persist through mild winters, offering year-round interest. Ideal for woodland gardens, borders, or mass plantings, Foam Flower forms attractive clumps that slowly spread by stolons, creating a lush groundcover effect. It pairs beautifully with other shade lovers like Hostas, Ferns, and Heucheras, adding a touch of natural elegance to any design. Easy to care for and remarkably resilient, this perennial offers both visual appeal and environmental benefits, attracting pollinators and thriving in conditions where many other plants struggle.

Care & maintenance

Foam Flower is a low-maintenance perennial. Plant in well-drained, organically rich soil. Provide consistent moisture, especially during dry spells. No significant pruning is required; remove spent flower stalks if desired to encourage new growth or for tidiness. Divide congested clumps every few years in early spring or fall to maintain vigor. Generally pest and disease free.
