Tiarella 'Iron Butterfly'

Tiarellas have heuchera-like leaves, which are often spotted or patterned with mahogany blotches and develop a rich red hue in autumn. In late spring and early summer, short upright spikes of foamy flowers are borne just above the foliage. Plants look best grown as ground cover in shady wild and woodland gardens, or in shady borders planted with hostas and hardy ferns.

Tiarella 'Iron Butterfly' has large, deeply cut leaves with lime-green edges and a purple-black centre. In late spring delicate spikes of fragrant, soft-pink flowers appear on tall stems. It's ideal for using as ground cover and edging paths in moist, shady parts of the garden.

For best results grow Tiarella 'Iron Butterfly' in moist but well-drained soil, in partial to full shade. Protect plants from winter wet, and divide clumps in spring or autumn.
