Foam flowers (Tiarella species) are very beautiful additions to your sun to part shade garden. There are many hybrids available now and you will also find some nice x Heucherellas on the market too. (They are a cross between Heuchera and Tiarella and enjoy the same environments in the garden as Tiarella.)





I have never grown them from seed so I can't help you there. But they have pretty foamy blooms that are held on spikes above the foliage. The flowers are either pink or white in the spring time. The foliage is available in varying colors with different markings depending on the variety. They are evergeen here where I am in zone 9.





The most widely available species are T. cordifolia and T. wheryii (foliage turns red in winter). They are generally around 8-12'; inches in height with the flower stalk rising above.

Foamflower is Tiarella. There are several species and many cultivated varieties with fancy names. Several species are native to the eastern US. They are evergreen here, although the leaves do wind/sun/frost burn depending on how exposed the site is. The old tattered foliage can be carefully clipped off in early spring.


In my garden in USDA zone 5 NY foamflowers bloom in May with late tulips, doublefile viburnum, lily of the valley, columbines. The flowers looked good for around 10 days and then were deadheaded.
