Foamflower, or Tiarella spp., is a native North American perennial that is found growing in the shady and damp woodlands of the eastern US. If you have been searching for a tough plant that can be used in dark and dank corners of your yard, foamflower is a good option that I can highly recommend.
As you might have guessed from the images here, this flower takes its nickname from the foam-like blooms that emerge in spring, appearing much like a soft white or pale pink cloud. I have grown this perennial in several shady plots, from urban container gardeners to large sprawling yards, and can testify both to its resilience and remarkable blooms that will light up any spring garden.
