foam flower

Foam flower requires moist but well-drained soil. It should be watered regularly but not over-watered. During the warm weather of summer, foam flower should be watered about once a week, but during cooler periods of spring and fall, water it every 2 to 3 weeks. It should not be watered during the cold weather of winter. If the soil feels dry when you touch it, then water it. If the soil feels moist, avoid watering until it’s dry. Generally, water the foam flower to a depth of about 3 to 4 inches.

Foam flower (Tiarella 'Tntia041' STARGAZER MERCURY) should be grown in partial to full-sunlight, depending on the region. In the United States, the best time for sunlight for this particular species typically ranges from the early morning to late afternoon, with a total of 6 to 8 hours of direct light daily. To achieve this, it should be placed in an area with a mix of morning sun and afternoon shade, such as a south- or west-facing window or patio. The light intensity should remain consistent throughout the season for optimal growth and blooming.

Foam flower (Tiarella 'Tntia041' STARGAZER MERCURY) should be pruned during the early spring, before new growth begins. Since this is a vigorous spreading species, a hard prune should be done every other year to keep the plant’s size in check. Cut the stems back by about 1-third to 1-half the height. Deadheading old flowers in the summer season will also help keep the plant looking neat and can further encourage additional blooms.
