watering
Foam flower plants should be watered regularly, once a week or as needed when the soil feels dry to the touch. They like moist soil but don't like to sit in it for too long. Water thoroughly so that the top 2-3 inches of soil is moist, and then allow the soil to dry slightly before the next watering. During the winter months, you can cut back on watering to allow the plant to rest.
sunlight
Foam flower (Tiarella 'Ninja') is a low maintenance plant that thrives in partial to full shade and does best with filtered sun. Foam flowers require 2 to 4 hours of morning sunlight each day, and protection from the hot afternoon sun. If planted in a location that gets full sun all day, it is best to provide afternoon shade. Foam flower should be kept away from hot, direct, and strong late-afternoon sun as this can lead to the foliage becoming sunburned.
pruning
Foam flowers should be pruned in the late winter or early spring, after the last frost of the season. Prune by cutting back sections of old tangled stems to the base of the plant. This will help promote new, healthy growth. Pruning should be done just once a year, as too much pruning can damage the plant and decrease flowering.
