The appearance of this plant changes through the season. If deadheaded, flowering repeats well, lasting well into summer. Little seed is set, but as it is a hybrid, it will not come true from seed.

Like all tiarellas, it needs a deep humusy soil to thrive, but once it is established, it is a carefree woodland plant.

In warmer zones it is evergreen, but in cold winter areas it may die to the ground. Flowering is not affected.
