Tiarella 'Oakleaf'

Heartleaf Foamflower, Oakleaf Foamflower

Oakleaf Foamflower is named for the deeply lobed shape of its bright green leaves. The leafy mound develops reddish bronze tones in cooler autumn and winter weather.

Small creamy white flowers rise above the foliage from late spring into summer. Its partly evergreen habit adds texture beneath shrubs and along woodland border edges.

Provide partial to full shade and soil rich in organic matter. Maintain even moisture with good drainage.
