Tiarella cordifolia – Foamflower

Tiarella cordifolia, commonly known as Foamflower, is a charming woodland perennial prized for its frothy spikes of delicate white flowers that float above soft, heart-shaped foliage in spring. Its lush green leaves form a dense, low-growing carpet that works beautifully in shaded borders, woodland gardens and containers. Easy-going and elegant, this hardy perennial brings softness and texture to darker garden spaces while also supporting pollinators during flowering season. Plant Care Light: Prefers partial shade to full shade. Ideal for woodland-style planting and sheltered garden spaces. Watering: Keep soil evenly moist, particularly during warmer weather or while establishing. Temperature: Fully hardy in the UK and suitable for year-round outdoor growing. Potting: Thrives in moisture-retentive but well-draining soil rich in organic matter. Suitable for containers with peat-free compost. Hot tips: Great for underplanting shrubs and trees. Remove old foliage in early spring to keep plants looking fresh.
