Plant description
Tiarella ‘Sugar and Spice’ has shiny, mid-green leaves with striking crimson markings, making for a compact and dense 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 moist spots beneath trees, and edging paths in shady parts of the garden.

How to care for Tiarella Sugar and Spice (PBR):
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.
Please note:
This perennial dies back to below ground level each year in autumn, then fresh new growth appears again in spring.
