foam flower

Foam flower (Tiarella 'Laird of Skye') prefers moist soil and should be watered regularly. Deep, infrequent watering is best when compared to shallow, frequent watering. Water the plant when the top 1-2 inches of soil is dry and provide enough water to saturate the soil. During the spring and summer months, water the foam flower once every 7-10 days while making sure the soil is kept moist during this period. During the fall and winter months, watering may be reduced to once every 14-21 days.

Foam flower (Tiarella 'Laird of Skye') grows best in partial shade to dappled shade during the summer. This plant prefers bright light in the morning, with filtered or indirect light in the afternoon. The plant will do best if placed in an area with 3 to 4 hours of direct sunlight each day. Generally, 4 to 6 hours of indirect or dappled sunlight are ideal for this species. Foam flower prefers cooler temperatures and is not tolerant of scorching sun exposure. Too much direct heat during the warmer months can cause the plant to wilt, yellow, and droop.

Foam flowers (Tiarella 'Laird of Skye') should be pruned in early spring or late fall when they are not actively growing. Prune out any dead or damaged stems and lightly shape the plant by cutting back up to 1-third of the plant's height. This will encourage more branching and a spread out growth habit. Remove any spent flowers after blooming. Foam Flowers can also be divided in the spring or early summer. It is best to divide this plant every 3 to 5 years to ensure it does not become too overgrown.
