| What you see are 3 established "Sugar and Spice" foam flowers. Each year at this time I post a similar picture but I am hoping this will encourage fellow GW members to find space for such a plant. There is nothing to not like about this perennial ie blooms for an extended period in the spring in shade; it is pest free and hardy and many have desirable foliage all season. |

| Yours look wonderful! I have 'Spring Symphony' and 'Running Tapestries' and the native Tiarella cordifolia. I love them. I am going to have to look for that 'Sugar and Spice' that is special! |

| I don't like, NO , I HATE that it does not like living in my neck of the woods. I will just sit here and drool and go back to my xeric garden. |

| PM2, it was you I think (and/or maybe 'Woody') that made me aware of the spreadung Tiarella ie cordifolia. I did plant one in 2013 because of your recommendation and it did make it through the winter. |
|
| Tiarellas are indeed wonderful plants! I was just admiring my running ones that thread through the shady beds... :-). That's quite a collection you have there - how many of those do you have? |
|
| 'woody', the picture I posted is a grouping of 3. (I have one or two cordifolia in another location). |

| Rouge, my cordifolia made it through the winter and is spreading but it definitely doesn't look as vigorous as that or does it have such large flowers. I'm afraid my conditions are more challenging. Mine are trying to compete with Maple roots. I think I am going to buy a few of those 'Sugar & Spice' and offer them a better position than the last batch I planted. Further away from the tree roots. |
