Sizes available: Landscape plug

Basics: zones 3-9, 6-12" x 12-24", part shade, small pyramidal spires of charming tiny pinkish-white flowers held over a nice foliage ground cover in late spring. Likes a moist and well-drained soil, but is somewhat drought tolerant. This is an open-pollinated seed grown plant and flower color and leaf shape show the variation natural to an open-pollinated variety.

Common names: Foamflower

Family: Saxifragaceae

Origin/Distribution: T. cordifolia is found in eastern North America from Nova Scotia and New Brunswick down to Georgia and Tennessee and west to Minnesota. Native to Maine.

Habitat: open, moist deciduous woods

More: May go semi-dormant in a hot dry summer, will form a better ground cover with adequate moisture and afternoon shade, but I feel morning sun is fine in moist conditions, a very pretty native ground cover for a woodland setting or lightly shaded garden bed. Also has rock garden potential. Has been used medicinally, but also contains potentially toxic components, so proceed with caution.
