Foam Flower Plants For Sale - Tiarella Cordifolia
The Foam Flower is a perennial herbaceous plant that produces an elegant raceme of flowers. From a distance, these racemes look like tiny wands dipped in foam. Upon closer inspection, you will notice delicate, bright white, flowers that sparkle in the sunlight.
These petite flowers house a bouquet of elegantly slender stamens that extend well past the edge petals, further adding to the appearance of a foamy-blur from a distance.
These plants are often found along the banks of streams and rivers. Their unique heart-shaped leaves and distinctly tall raceme with brilliant white flowers are unforgettable. Once you have seen them, you will notice them the next time you are on a spring time walk in the woods.
