Everything is pleasing about Tiarella (Foam Flower), a woodland native.  The deeply lobed green foliage of Tiarella is tinged with bronze and accented with  purple veins, and the short spires of white/pink tipped flowers appear out of nowhere in spring and will reappear if deadheaded.  Growing to only about ten inches, it is hard to believe that such a demure plant adds so much garden interest, but it does.  Partial shade in Zones 3-8.  Quarts.

Here is another beautiful Foam Flower with pink-tinged white flowers and bright green foliage.  Foam Flower "Sugar Scoop" has more than its good looks going for it:  the blooms are also delicately and sweetly scented.  This Tiarella is a long bloomer and ideal for borders and even containers.  "Sugar scoop" tolerates a wide range of conditions and will do well with sun, some shade is advisable.  Zones 4-8.  Quarts.
