Is Tiarella cordifolia easy to grow?
Foamflowers are commonly found in the woods of eastern North America, but not nearly often enough in gardens. They are easy to grow and many will spread when given moist soil high in organic matter and shade. Foamflowers are found in nature on the banks of streams and in moist woodland conditions. These spring bloomers grow best in moderate to full shade (with morning sun only).
What grows well with Tiarella?
Mix with other shade-loving plants: Tiarella pairs well with other shade-loving plants like ferns, hostas, and heucheras. Mix and match different varieties to create a stunning display of foliage and flowers. Use as a ground cover: Tiarella spreads quickly, making it an excellent choice for ground cover. Tiarellas prefer soil that is well-drained and rich in organic matter. Just think about woodland conditions, lots of mulch, humus rich dirt, shade, and moist conditions are what tiarella like best. Mulch will help them thrive. Plant in spring or early summer and like all new plantings water immediately and deeply.
