Notes

'Sugar and Spice' foam flower (Tiarella 'Sugar and Spice') is a perennial for borders, containers, and ground cover. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes part sun to full shade and average to moist, loamy, clay, or chalky soil. Deer and rabbits tend to pass it by. Fragrant, frosted pink flowers with white centers open in spring and again in summer, and they draw butterflies and bees.

Pairs well with Western sword fern, Wood lily, and Royal Star star magnolia.
