Tiarella 'Spring Symphony'
The plants that I received were of a nice size and appear to be very healthy and vigorous. They have been in the ground for a week now and continue to look good. I am looking forward to Spring blooms.
'Spring Symphony' seems to be the only long-lasting and reliable Foamflower in our Midwestern conditions (Bloomington, IN)!
Clumping Foamflower with distinctive palmate leaves (olive green) with nearly black markings and soft pink flowers.
Compact and tidy look. Whitish-pinkish flowers with pink buds in May and June.
Size : 8-10” tall x 10" wide
USDA zones : 4 to 9
Culture : half shade, full shade, dappled shade. Prefers organic rich, retentive soils, with average moisture (medium) - amend your soil with some compost, leaf compost and mulch with organic debris (leaves, shredded leaves or little bit of bark mulch). Seems to be adaptable (slightly acidic, alkaline, average). Avoid wet and waterlogged soils. Tolerant to heat and humidity. So far it seems to be quite drought tolerant. It's recommended even for the Deep South gardens.
Moisture Needs : average - medium to medium-moist
Origin : Introduced by Dan Heims from the Terra Nova Nurseries in February 2002 under USPP#12397, unlicensed propagation is prohibited.
'Spring Symphony' originates as a cross of unpatented plants of Tiarella ‘Pink Bouquet’ (pollen parent)and an unnamed Tiarella seedling 97-7 (seed parent). The parents are from interspecific crosses and several species are involved, no species designations can be given. 'Spring Symphony' is propagated by tissue culture.
Deer/rabbit resistant : yes / yes
Attracts Butterflies or Pollinators : yes/yes
Attracts Hummingbirds : no
Pot Size : square 3.5" x 5" deep pot

Plant combinations : Perfect plant for shade or half shade garden, woodland garden, underplanting bigger shrubs and trees. Also good for shaded parts of rock, crevice gardens or big containers.
Looks the best if combined with grassy-leaves of Carex (sedges), Deschampsia, Hakonechloa, or Tradescantia, narrow-leaved Hosta or Liriope (where not invasive). Other good companions can be native spring ephemerals (Jeffersonia, Sanquinaria, Trillium, etc) and pretty much any smaller to medium-sized shade loving or shade tolerant perennials.
