General Culture:
Grow in average, medium moisture, well-drained soil in full sun to part shade. Prefers part shade in the hot summers of the deep South. Prefers acidic, organically rich soils. Wet, poorly drained soils (particularly heavy clay) can be fatal. Soil should not be allowed to dry out. Slow to establish. Stoloniferous.
Noteworthy Characteristics:
This foamy bells cultivar is a bi-generic hybrid between Heuchera x brizoides and Tiarella cordifolia. It is a compact, clump-forming perennial which features low-growing, basal clumps of hairy, toothed, 4" long, heart-shaped leaves (from the Tiarella parent) from which rise dense but airy panicles of tiny, pinkish, bell-shaped flowers (from the Heuchera parent) on wiry, leafless stems to a height of 12-18" in late spring. Repeat bloom in the fall may occur. Foliage is evergreen in warm winter climates. Developed by Alan Bloom of Bloom nurseries in England.
Problems:
No serious insect or disease problems. Avoid poorly drained soils.
Uses:
Mass to form an attractive ground cover. Rock gardens, open woodland gardens, border fronts, wild gardens or naturalized plantings.
