This genus is closely allied to the Coralbells, with similar requirements. Most species form spreading colonies and make excellent groundcovers for shady places. All prefer a moist, woodland soil and some shade. Individual flowers are small, white or pink, but are borne on dense showy clusters held above the foliage. Tiarella cordifolia, the Allegheny Foamflower, has downy, heart-shaped leaves and near-white spring flowers. It spreads by stolons and will form a dense colony in a woodland setting.

We’ve grown Tiarella ‘Running Tapestry’ for years and while the markings aren’t as bold as newer cultivars, in the right spot the spreading habit is a real advantage. One of the best to use as a groundcover.
