foam flower

The foam flower can be watered regularly, as often as once a week in warm weather. Water well, saturating the top 6-8" of soil and allowing it to drain. In cooler weather, they may require less frequent watering. Let the top 1" of soil dry out before irrigation. Be careful not to overwater, as too much water can lead to root rot.

Foam flower (Tiarella cordifolia 'Oakleaf') prefers partial to full shade, meaning it should receive dappled sunlight (or indirect light) throughout the day. This plant will need at least 4 to 6 hours of indirect sunlight each day. Direct sunlight should be avoided. It is important to note that while it prefers indirect sunlight, it must get enough light to keep it healthy and flowering. Without enough light, it may become spindly and may even stop blooming.

Foam flower (Tiarella cordifolia 'Oakleaf') should be pruned in late winter or early spring. It is best to wait until the new shoots start to emerge at the base of the plant before pruning. It is generally not necessary to prune foam flowers heavily; light pruning can be used to even out the plant's overall shape or to remove any dead or damaged stems. Bloom-bearing stems should be pruned away immediately after they fade. Cut stems back to the base of the plant and any long, wayward stems should also be removed. To maintain a full shape, only about 1-third of the total stems should be pruned at 1 time.
