Tiarella Morning Star

The Tiarella 'Morning Star' plug plants can be planted directly into well-prepared and enriched soil or in pots and planters. Plant them if possible upon receipt, in September-October. If the intended location is not yet ready or the conditions are unfavourable for planting, you can let them grow on in pots for 4 to 6 weeks.

In pots and planters, use a good potting compost for flowering plants (geranium-type compost) enriched with clay and slow-release fertilizer, light and well-draining. The top of the root ball should be level with the soil. Water generously at planting and during the following weeks, as the young plants can quickly dry out. However, be careful not to overwater! Use containers with drainage holes and empty the saucer 10 minutes after watering. Remember to water, even during winter, if it doesn't rain or if the container is placed in a sheltered spot. Do not water during periods of frost.

Full of flowers and fast-growing, Tiarella 'Morning Star' requires little maintenance. Apply a liquid fertilizer for flowering plants 1 to 2 times a week when watering, as soon as growth starts up again, in late February or early March, and throughout the flowering period, . Remove spent flower stems from time to time to maintain a beautiful appearance. Once flowering is over, plants in pots can be replanted in the garden in partial shade.
