foam flower

The foam flower (Tiarella 'Crow Feather') is a drought-tolerant plant and does best when given regular, deep waterings. To ensure healthy growth, it is best to water this species once per week for 15-20 minutes in the late afternoon or early evening. When temperatures are extremely warm or dry, you may need to water twice a week. This species should never be allowed to dry out completely or sit in standing water. Also, make sure to avoid wetting the foliage and provide proper drainage.

Tiarella 'Crow Feather' prefers bright, indirect sunlight and can tolerate some shade. For best growth and flowering, it should be planted in a location where it will receive at least 4-5 hours of direct morning sunlight every day. In partial shade, the leaves may become discolored and the plant may not flower as profusely. In full sun, it may become scorched, so it is best to provide it with some protection from the afternoon sun.

Foam Flower (Tiarella ‘Crow Feather’) should be pruned in early spring, before new growth appears. Pruning should only be done to remove dead, diseased, or overgrown stems and should not be done to shape the plant. Any stems that have dried up, turned brown, or seem unhealthy should be removed. If the plant has become overgrown and matted, prune off the oldest stems to allow for new growth. Be sure to use sharp, clean pruning shears or scissors so that you don’t accidentally damage the healthy stems. Pruning should not be carried out beyond the point of removing any dead or diseased parts – over pruning can drastically reduce the flowering potential of the plant and lead to an unhealthy appearance.
