Physical description: Foamflower is a vigorous, stoloniferous plant
that has very attractive, heart- shaped, pale green leaves that
turn bronze-red in autumn and winter. The foliage is red veined
and deeply dissected, and spreads by runners. Foamflower bears
creamy white flowers in spring and summer.
Optimal growing conditions: Although this plant tolerates a wide range of
soil conditions, it prefers moist, humus-rich, well-drained soil
in full sun to partial shade. Dried out soil, as well as excessive
winter moisture, should be avoided.
Susceptibility to pests and diseases:
Foamflower is prone to rust and
slugs.
Use: Foamflower
is an excellent groundcover or edging for woodland garden, shady
border, or naturalized areas.
