Foamflower (Group) (Tiarella cordifolia) refers to cultivated selections of this woodland perennial, chosen for their decorative foliage and frothy spring blooms. These varieties share the species’ signature airy flower spikes, covered in tiny, star-shaped white to pale pink blossoms that rise above low mounds of heart-shaped leaves. Often patterned with dark veining or splashes of burgundy, the foliage provides visual interest long after flowering. Native to eastern North America, foamflower thrives in shaded forests, along stream banks, and in rich, moist soils.

Grouped cultivars emphasize differences in leaf shape, color patterns, and bloom density, making them versatile for garden design. Blooming in mid to late spring, they attract early-season pollinators and contribute to layered plantings under trees or in shaded borders. Valued for their blend of floral delicacy and foliage charm, Foamflower group varieties offer lasting texture, seasonal color, and ecological benefits in low-light garden spaces.
