Shady Spot perennials
Foamflower (Tiarella cordifolia)
Foamflower is a beautiful, low-maintenance perennial perfect for adding a touch of elegance to your shady garden spaces. Known for its delicate, frothy white blooms that appear in spring, it creates a stunning contrast against its heart-shaped, dark green foliage.
This native perennial typically grows to about 6-12 inches in height and spreads to about 12-18 inches wide, making it a great choice for ground cover or to add texture to garden borders. Foamflower thrives in moist, well-drained soils and partial to full shade, making it ideal for under trees or in shaded woodland gardens.
In addition to its attractive flowers, Foamflower also offers interest throughout the season with its evergreen leavesthat retain their beauty even after the blooms fade. Its compact size and graceful form make it a perfect plant for mixing with other shade-loving plants in a garden that’s both pollinator-friendly and low-maintenance.
