Noted for its bold foliage, Tiarella 'Jeepers Creepers' (Foam Flower) is a spreading herbaceous perennial forming a mat of star-shaped, fresh green leaves heavily marked with black centers. The foliage may turn completely reddish bronze during the winter. In mid to late spring, large wands of white flowers are borne above the foliage. Unlike many Tiarella selections, this variety has a creeping habit, making it particularly useful as a groundcover for shady, moist areas. Good under shrubs or roses. Evergreen in mild winter climates.

  • Grows up to 7-12 in. tall (22-30 cm) and 24 in. wide (60 cm).
  • Performs best in cool, moist, humus-rich, well-drained soil in partial shade or full shade. Protect from excessive winter wet.
  • A pretty addition to beds and borders, woodland gardens, cottage gardens or rock gardens. Great as a groundcover, for edging or underplanting shrubs and roses.
  • Generally pest and disease free. Keep an eye out for slugs and powdery mildews. Deer resistant.
  • Propagate by division in spring.
