Tiarella

(Saxifragaceae - saxifrage family)

Six species of perennial herbs, chiefly of wood-lands: 5 species in North America and 1 in Asia. The following species prefer moist soil and partial shade. Both do well here in full sun if the moisture supply is adequate.

cordifolia

evgrn peren • ht 6"; fl stalks to 12" • zones 3-9

foamflower

native, ground cover, sun - shade
e N Amer

Maple-like leaves are evergreen or nearly so. Spreads moderately fast by runners, forming a solid cover. Bears masses of small flowers in feathery clusters on upright stems in spring. Among the best of the native plants for use as a ground cover.

Wherry's foamflower

native, fragrant, ground cover, rock garden, sun - shade
se US

Resembles T. cordifolia in most respects but, lacking runners, it forms a dense clump rather than spreading. The clusters of small white, pinkish-tinged flowers, which appear on upright stalks over a period of weeks in late spring and early summer, are fragrant and exquisitely attractive. Like T. cordifolia, it makes an excellent ground cover, particularly for situations where a spreading tendency would be undesirable. Easily grown, adaptable, beautiful, fragrant - an excellent native plant.
