1 Tiarella Sugar and Spice Foam Flower, Hardy Shade Perennial Plant, 2 Litre Root-Ball

Tiarella 'Sugar and Spice' is a beautiful and reliable shade-loving perennial, prized for its deeply dissected, maple-shaped foliage marked with striking dark burgundy central veining. From late spring into early summer, slender spikes of fragrant, soft pink-white bottlebrush flowers rise gracefully above the foliage, adding a delicate charm to shaded borders and woodland plantings.

This compact, clump-forming perennial is well suited to shady spots where many other plants struggle. Its semi-evergreen leaves provide year-round interest, often taking on warm tones during the cooler months. A low-maintenance choice that works wonderfully as ground cover, in containers, or planted in drifts beneath trees and shrubs.
