Tiarella

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.

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.
