watering
Foam flower (Tiarella 'Filigree Lace') should be watered 1-2 times a week. The soil should be kept moist but not soggy; when the top 1-2 inches of soil are just starting to become dry, it is time to water. During the summer months, it may need more frequent watering, especially if there is an extended dry period. When watering, thoroughly moisten the soil and check the soil moisture with your finger afterwards to make sure the entire root zone is properly hydrated.
sunlight
Foam flower (Tiarella 'Filigree Lace') needs at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day throughout the year. This does not need to be full sun all day, but rather the sunlight should be divided up over the course of the day with several hours in the morning and several hours in the afternoon. Foam flowers that receive less sunlight may become leggy and produce fewer flowers.
pruning
Foam flower (Tiarella 'Filigree Lace') should be pruned in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. Prune off any dead, woody, and damaged stems at the base to enable the plant to focus its energy on regrowth. In addition, deadheading -- removing spent blooms -- can be done to keep the plant looking neat and prevent the growth of unwanted seedlings. Lastly, trimming back some of the more vigorous stem tips promotes a fuller growth habit. When pruning, take care to avoid cutting into old woody stems as it may damage the health of the plant.
