It’s day five of Canada Blooms<\/a> already! Crazy! We’d love to see you at our booth in Toronto.<\/p>\n

So let’s celebrate blooms, shall we? Today’s bloom of the day is the foamflower<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Canadian woodlands boast a variety of wildflowers that light up the ground with their pretty blooms. Some are like little gems that are best appreciated close up while others, such as trilliums, form a brilliant carpet across the forest floor that can take your breath away from a distance. Tiarellas are pretty woodland plants that have inspired gardeners to grow them at home, for their blooms and for their ability to provide good ground cover.<\/p>\n

There are two species of Tiarella, also known as foamflower, in Canada. T. cordifolia <\/em>grows in the eastern provinces of Ontario, Quebec, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick and T. trifoliata<\/em> graces British Columbia and southwestern Alberta.<\/p>\n

Foamflowers <\/a>are a source of food for Canadian wildlife. Their seeds and leaves help birds, such as the ruffed grouse, while flowers offer pollen and nectar to local pollinators.<\/p>\n

Tiarellas grow best in moist rich soil, mimicking the moist woods they would naturally inhabit. Partial shade is best, although they can handle deep shade, as well.<\/p>\n
