Foam Flower’s white, feathery plumes create a mystical look in the spring garden. This interesting plant is deer resistant and will thrive in full sun to partial shade. (Tiarella cordifolia)
To determine if a plant is sufficiently cold hardy, the USDA created numbered zones indicating winter low
temperatures; the lower the zone number the colder the winter.
If the coldest winter temperature expected in your area is -15°F (zone 5) then any plants rated zones 3-5 will
survive the winter temperatures in your area.
If you live in very warm winter areas (zones 9-11) plants with zones 3-4 ratings are not recommended. The lack
of freezing winter temperatures do not provide a time for winter dormancy (rest).
Also called Mitrewort since each tiny floret looks like a popes Mitre or pointed cap, Foam Flower is famous for forming large patches on the forest floor with large, handsome maple-like leaves. The blooms then rise from the lush, low patches of green on flowering stems that light up the forest with white bursts of bloom--they are the essense of spring. There are also hybrid tiarellas, but most wildflower gardeners think the original is the most beautiful.
