Tiarella 'Spring Symphony'

Spring Symphony Foam Flower

Spring Symphony Foamflower forms a compact mound of patterned leaves, each accented by a dark central marking. The small-scale foliage brings detail to the front of a shaded planting.

Pale pink flowers rise above the leaves in spring, with flowering sometimes extending into early summer. Its tidy proportions suit repeated groups along a path or pockets beneath taller shrubs.

Plant in partial to full shade in organically rich soil with steady moisture. The foliage can remain evergreen in favorable conditions, helping maintain a leafy ground layer through winter.
