Comment on Tiarella cordifolia – Native Groundcover for Shade by Diane St John

I am totally in agreement here! I bought 2 Running Tapestry plants last summer and love them. One (a test) I put near the woods as a groundcover under some shrubs (will now plant more!) and the other I put near my watergarden and it is already “running” down some rocks and it is beautiful! I can’t wait to photograph it this spring with the stone. I love this plant!

I do grow tiarella in a mini-swath of 12 plants and the foaminess in spring is wonderful, and the foliage is so interesting. But you must get yourself to Longwood to see the tiarellas in Pierce’s Woods. In that shaded woodland garden there are tens of thousands, maybe millions of foamflowers carpeting the woodland floor in sweeps and great swaths and undulating hillocks. It’s breathtaking.

Laurrie, I was talking to my arborist about Winter King yesterday and the first thing he mentioned was rust. I also have some eastern red cedars and he said the rust shouldn’t be too bad. He did say Winter King is a great tree that lasts for a very long time. I think I’m going to get one in the spring so I’ll let you know how the whole rust thing works out.

Donna, Japanese maples do have good ‘bones’, don’t they?

John, I just got back from a trade show and there were so many dwarf conifers on display. I’m thinking they’ll be even more popular in the coming years as more & more nurseries start to carry them.
