Homeowner Growing and Maintenance Tips:
Tiarellas perfer woodland conditions: humus-rich, moisture retentive soil and dappled to full shade. If properly sited, they will keep their nice foliage all winter long, shedding it only when the warmer days of spring arrive. Divide them in early spring before flowering or later in the summer if desired.
