2022 Plant of the Year, Honorable Mention

An Honorable Mention was awarded to Tiarella cordifolia, foamflower.

This romantic plant, with its dainty flowers, can light up any shady bed. Commonly called foamflower, this clump-forming perennial spreads rapidly from runners, and it’s slender stamens give the white flowers a frothy appearance. 

Tiarella cordifolia blooms in early May, and is an impressive plant in a woodland garden where the perennial is an excellent ground cover.
