Tiarella cordifolia

Tiarella cordifolia, commonly called foamflower, is clump-forming perennial which spreads rapidly by runners to form dense, wide clumps of foliage. Semi-glossy, heart-shaped, 3-5 lobed leaves rise directly from the stolons. Leaves may have reddish variegation along the veins. Foliage is evergreen in mild winters, often turning reddish bronze in autumn and winter. Tiny, white flowers with very long stamens appear in airy racemes in spring for about 6 weeks on numerous, erect, wiry, mostly leafless flower stems. Flower buds are pinkish.
 
Care:
Easily grown in average, medium, well-drained soil in part shade to full shade. Prefers humusy, organically rich, moisture-retentive soils. Soil should not be allowed to dry out. Wet soils, particularly in winter, can be fatal, however. Removal of flower spikes after bloom will improve the appearance of the foliage mound.
