foam flower

Foam flowers (Tiarella 'Pacific Crest') should be watered regularly and evenly with an inch of water per week. It can be helpful to check the soil around the plant to make sure it is always moist. During the active growth season, typically from early spring to mid-summer, the plant will need more water. If the soil is dry an inch deep, it is time to water. However during the cooler months, the plant will require less water. Additionally, taking a break from watering during the winter months can be beneficial for the plant. Foam flowers prefer moist soil and adequate drainage, so do not keep the soil overly wet and make sure to empty the drainage trays after watering.

Foam flower (Tiarella 'Pacific Crest') needs 4 to 5 hours of bright sunlight each day to remain healthy. The ideal location for this plant is 1 that receives full morning sun and is shaded in the afternoon, such as under trees or along a fence line. If planted in a location that receives full sun, make sure to provide some afternoon shade to protect it from becoming scorched. Poor sunlight may lead to foliage that is discolored or faded. When the plant is grown indoors, it must be placed in a south-facing window with an unobstructed view. If you do not have a south-facing window, then consider purchasing a plant light fixture designed to mimic sunlight.

Foam flower (Tiarella 'Pacific Crest') requires minimal pruning. The best time to prune this particular plant species is in late winter before new growth begins. Pruning annually, or every other year, is recommended in order to keep the plant in good shape. This can be done by cutting back dead stems and removing any leaves that have yellowed or faded in color. Alternatively, you can choose to completely remove the foliage and stems at the end of winter each year. This will keep the plant looking fresh and healthy. If you do decide to prune, be sure to use sharp shears or gardening scissors and always make sure to sterilize them before and after each use.
