This plant has been one of those plants that once I planted it I had to do nothing but admire it. It is planted in a partly shaded garden on the north side or our house in zone 5 Ontario Canada. I highly recomend it for it's beautiful foliage and fragrant delicate flowers. It makes a nice companion to my hostas.

Despite their reputation as a deep shade plant, the only one of the 5 tiarella I planted last year to come back strongly was the one that, though still in a shady bed, got the most sun. It began blooming in late May and is still lovely.
The others did return, but they were very tiny and showed no signs of blooming. So I moved them near the blooming one and they seem to be reviving. One finally has a few buds. (It's now early July.)
I expect the other 3 will be fine next spring.

This is a fast spreader in good soil. Makes an excellent groundcover in a shady location. Delicate blooms are a bonus and appear later than the clumping foamflower. I have several varieties of foamflowers so that they bloom from March to June.

Tiarellas are beautiful flowering plants. They require a deep humusy soil to survive, which effort is well-repaid by its long flowering season and beautiful foliage.
