Good growth, but at the moment these young plants are too young to have produced runners and spread as I hope.

Description

Tiarella Running Tiger is a novelty with dark green leaves that has the particularity of producing runners, like strawberries; it spreads out to form large areas of groundcover.

A remarkable semi-evergreen foliage perennial, Tiarella Running Tiger produces dense foliage and provides, dark green with brown markings on the veins of the lamina.

Similar to Heuchera, this Tiarella produces a long, compact and early flowers consisting of short spikes of cream white from April to July.

This plant has excellent hardiness, it is vigorous and produces lateral stems, called runners, in early spring, about 25-30cm (10-12in) long, which root on the ground and allow it to spread.

The runners also have a significant ornamental aspect as they gracefully trail down when the plant is planted at the edge of a wall or in a hanging basket.

 

Easy to grow, Tiarella Running Tiger requires a rich and moist soil, it likes partially shaded and bright spots but is sensitive to direct sunlight during the hottest hours.

Planting and care

Tiarella Running Tiger thrives in a moist soil rich in humus, composed on the surface of decomposed leaf litter that it finds in its native habitat. It adapts very well to clay soils, provided that they are well-drained. We often use it alongside hostas, to which they bring the elegance of their foliage and the airy lightness of their flowering.
