Tiarella ‘Spring Symphony’ (Foam Flower)

Noted for its handsome foliage and profuse blooms, Tiarella ‘Spring Symphony’ (Foam Flower) is a clump-forming herbaceous perennial forming a lush mound of deeply-lobed, olive green leaves marked with dark purple along the midribs and central veins. In late spring to early summer, charming pink-tinged flower buds gracefully evolve into starry, creamy white flowers on 3 in. long racemes (7 cm). Borne atop erect stems well above the foliage, they are so abundant that their floral show is quite spectacular. Use as a groundcover in the woodland or shade garden. Good under shrubs or roses. Evergreen in mild winter climates.
