Foamflower 'Branding Iron'

Tiarella cordifolia 'Branding Iron' is a captivating foamflower cultivar, perfect for illuminating shady areas in UK gardens with its unique foliage. This plant forms neat, evergreen clumps of deeply lobed leaves that are intricately marked with a prominent, dark maroon to black central 'branding iron' pattern, particularly vibrant in cooler weather. In spring, delicate spikes of foamy, cream-white flowers emerge, adding an ethereal quality. 'Branding Iron' thrives in moist, well-drained, humus-rich soil and prefers partial to full shade, where its foliage colour is best preserved. It is fully hardy (H6) and makes an excellent ground cover for woodland settings, along paths, or in shady borders, offering year-round interest and subtle elegance.
