Tiarella cordifolia (Foamflower) is a beautiful North American native perennial that brings delicate flowers, attractive foliage, and valuable habitat benefits to shady garden spaces. Also known as foamflower, this woodland native produces graceful spikes of small, fragrant white to pale pink flowers in spring, rising above its distinctive heart-shaped, often semi-evergreen foliage.

Tiarella cordifolia is well suited to woodland gardens, shade gardens, native plant borders, rain gardens, and naturalized landscapes where it can slowly spread to form an attractive groundcover. Its flowers provide an early-season nectar source for pollinators, while its dense foliage adds texture and visual interest throughout the growing season. Adaptable and relatively low maintenance once established, foamflower is an excellent choice for gardeners seeking native plants that combine ornamental appeal with ecological value.

Plant Tiarella cordifolia in a shaded or partially shaded location with moist, well-drained soil to create a lush, natural-looking garden that supports local wildlife and complements other native woodland perennials.
