Excellent plant

Strong healthy perennial. Lush growth and flowered well. It does need some support or it will flop out. Am very pleased with this plant.

Tiarella 'Spring Symphony' (PBR)
foam flower
9cm pot
in stock
This perennial dies back to below ground level each year in autumn, then fresh new growth appears again in spring.
- Position: partial or deep shade
- Soil: cool, moist, humus-rich soil
- Rate of growth: fast-growing
- Flowering period: May to July
- Hardiness: fully hardy
Attractive, deeply lobed leaves with a small dark blotch in the centre, make a great carpet of foliage throughout the summer. In late spring, slender stems rise up and hold spikes of tiny star-shaped, blush white flowers. This is a brilliant plant for covering the ground in a shady spot - plant it in large numbers for best effect. - Garden care: Removing the faded blooms regularly will prolong flowering and encourage more to come. Cut back and compost the spent flower stems in autumn and apply a dry mulch around the crown of the plant to protect against frost damage

Lovely plant.

I bought a large number of these to plant en mass in a north facing border. They are very healthy and flowered for months and all my neighbours commented on how good they looked. The recent very hot weather hasn't really affected them at all, apart from the flowers dying off, but they probably would have died off in the summer whatever the weather.

Lovely plant for shade, long flowering time very early in the season

As spring is late this year the plant is looking a bit ragged and new growth is just beginning to show and I am hopeful it will flourish with the onset of milder weather.

The plants arrived in good condition. A lovely perennial plant for a shady/woodland spot. Pretty delicate flowers that bloom for many weeks. Bronze coloured foliage remains on the plant through the winter and even withstood the recent snow!

I certainly recommend this plant

A plant with very delicate looking attractive flowers but is easy to grow and happy in difficult positions. I have planted several under a tree where it's dry and not many plants grow and they have been very successful. Would certainly recommend this plant.

Very easy to grow and fast ground cover. Pretty little flowers. Loving my heavy clay soil and dry shade.

This is a lovely plant, it flowered well and longer than expected. The leaves are also very attractive. I've planted it in a shady border, and also in a large pot in a half sun/shady situation and both are doing really well.

Fine!

I used it in a shady spot where it provided colour and attractive ground-cover foliage. Find that the multiple choice answers were very hard to choose from. It's also quite a long time since I ordered them, so you are testing my memory severely! Recommendations are difficult - it depends on their garden and personal preferences.

This is a gorgeous plant

I can't believe how many blooms there are on this plant. I've put it in a group of three at the front of a shady border. My dining room is at semi-basement level so when sitting at the table, the Tiarella are at eye-level. I have also put anemone blanda, blue flowered, in front of the Tiarella and the combination is one of the most successful I've tried. The two of them look stunning together.

Hello, The leaves of this plant can be eaten by slugs, however they are also listed by many asbeing more resistant to them than many other plants.
Helen
- Hi, is the foliage at all evergreen? Looking for some evergreen, flowering ground cover to go in front of Hebe Subalpina. Pinks, purples and whites also present in a lightly shaded border. These would be perfect, but open to suggestions. Thanks

Hello, Yes, in milder areas, some (but not all) of the foliage will usually be retained throughout the winter.
Helen
- Does this plant cope with dry deep shade? Have a spot under a large conifer tree, but it's very dry. Thank you

Hello, Yopu are going to really struggle getting anything established undeneath a well established conifer, as even the toughest plant will need a high level of maintenance if it is going to stand a chance. This tiarella is not really suitable, however if you are determined to try something (and are prepared to put the work in), then the following would be better options...

- Could Tiarella Spring Symphony tolerate any sun at all?

Hello, Yes, it won't mind some early morning or late afternoon sun, but it should be protected from it during the hottest part of the day.
Helen

Hello, Spring and autumn are ideal, but plants grown in containers (like this one) can be planted at any time of the year.
