Foam Flower 'Sugar and Spice'


Noted for its handsome foliage and profuse blooms, Tiarella 'Sugar and Spice' (Foam Flower) is a compact herbaceous perennial forming a shinny clump of lacy, fresh green leaves adorned with striking dark purple markings on each of their lobes.

Good under shrubs or roses. Evergreen in mild winter climates.

  • A pretty addition to beds and borders, woodland gardens, cottage gardens or rock gardens. Great as a groundcover, for edging or underplanting shrubs and roses.
  • Generally pest and disease free. Keep an eye out for slugs and powdery mildews. Deer resistant.
