Description
Tiarella cordifolia 'Pink Brushes' is a lovely rhizomatous perennial, almost evergreen, with its shiny green palmate foliage quickly covering the ground in damp shade, even in the understory. Its abundant and long spring to summer flowering, in pale pink feathery spikes, will brighten up the darker areas of the garden. The foliage takes on variable brown-red markings in autumn and throughout winter.
Tiarella cordifolia 'Pink Brushes' belongs to the Saxifragaceae family. It is a cousin of Heucheras, with which it readily hybridises. It is native to the North American understory. It will reach a mature size of 30 cm (12in) in all directions. This foam flower forms a spreading clump. The evergreen foliage is its main asset. Its palmate and deeply lobed leaves measure 10 cm (4in) in length and are beautifully crinkled and marked with a variable dark central spot, ranging from bronze-red to shiny green. In May, individual flowers appear densely arranged in 'brushes' on 45 cm (18in) tall stems, offering a beautiful range of pale pink to white, depending on their fading over time. The flowering period, particularly long for the species, persists from mid-spring to early summer. This plant spreads by stolons and can quickly cover a large area.
Easy to maintain, Tiarella cordifolia 'Pink Brushes' thrives in all moist to wet, well-drained, neutral to acidic soils. It can be planted in partial shade or dense shade (although the foliage colour may be less vibrant). Full sun must be avoided. It should be planted in loose soil that retains moisture, with the possibility of mulching. It does not tolerate very hot conditions. Once established, this perennial seems to tolerate dry shade under trees and shrubs. It requires little maintenance, and pruning is not necessary except for damaged foliage or rejuvenation.
In the wild, Tiarella cordifolia grows in wooded or mountainous environments. It will naturally thrive in damp understory alongside ferns, Impatiens balfouri, Solomon's seals, and astilbes. It can also be used as a waterside plant. It will also grow well in containers or shady garden beds. In containers, it should be planted in well-draining soil mix, with careful watering in summer and reduced watering in winter. Potted plants will need protection from cold winter winds.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
