This evergreen plant is native to the forests of North America and East Asia and is represented worldwide by 3-5 species.There are quite a few garden varieties with white to pale pink flowers, distinguished by pretty patterns on the leaves.Leaves turn red in autumn. In principle, all species are suitable for a cut flower vase.
Tiarella grows to a height of 20 cm, it spreads creepingly through the stolons, creating large carpets. Some ornamental varieties also grow in clumps.The leaves of the heart-shaped tiarella are heart-shaped.Depending on the variety, their size ranges from 3 to 12 cm.
