Description
Tiarella cordifolia 'Brandywine' is an excellent cultivar of heart-leaved foam flower that is particularly vigorous and remarkably floriferous. Its airy spikes of white flowers appear profusely for at least 6 weeks in spring. This foamflower is also distinguished by its superb glossy foliage, which is light green and maculated with brown-purple along the veins. In autumn and winter, its large leaves take on a beautiful bronze hue. Often evergreen in winter, very hardy, this perennial makes a superb groundcover for damp shade, and it can be grown either in the ground or in pots.
Tiarella cordifolia 'Brandywine' belongs to the Saxifragaceae family. It is a cousin of Heucheras with which it easily hybridises. Its ancestor, the heart-leaved foamflower, is native to North American woodlands. This variety of 'Brandywine' will reach a mature size of 38 cm (15in) in flower, 25 cm (10in) for the foliage, with a width of 30 to 40 cm (12 to 16in). The plant, which spreads through stolons, can quickly cover a significant area. The rhizomes of this superb heart-leaved foam flower produce glossy leaves in spring, which unfold to form a spreading clump. Its foliage is mostly evergreen in winter. Its palmate and deeply lobed leaves measure about 8 cm (3in) in all directions and are nicely crinkled. The centre of the lamina and the veins are strongly coloured with purple, and the foliage darkens in autumn and winter due to the cold. In April, white flowers densely cover the floral stems, about 38-40 cm (15-16in) tall, dominating the foliage. When the plant is pruned in July, it sometimes produces a second, more subtle, flowering in September.
In the wild, Tiarella cordifolia is generally found in wooded or mountainous environments, always in damp to moist soil. Tiarella cordifolia 'Brandywine' will naturally find its place in the understory or in a shady and moist rock garden, alongside ferns, Carex, Heuchera 'Chantilly', Solomon's seals, or astilbes. It can also be used as a waterside plant. It will also thrive in containers or shady planters. In this case, it should be planted in a well-drained potting mix and watering should be monitored in summer and reduced in winter. Potted plants will need protection from cold winter winds.
Flower buds are formed during the summer, but they will only develop and bloom after being exposed to cold temperatures for at least 10 weeks in the following year. Cold is therefore necessary for this perennia l to flower.
Tips: Remove faded flowers and limit the growth of rhizomes, which can be invasive.

Planting and care
Easy to maintain, Tiarella cordifolia thrives in all moist to wet, well-drained, neutral to acidic soils, rich in humus and compost. It should be planted in partial shade or dense shade (although the colour of the foliage may be duller in this case). It is imperative to avoid full sun and excess humidity in winter. You should plant it in loose soil that retains moisture, lightening it with coarse sand if it is too heavy, and possibly providing a mulch. It does not tolerate very hot conditions. Once established, this perennial seems to tolerate dry shade under trees and bushes. It requires little maintenance and pruning is not necessary unless the foliage is damaged or to rejuvenate the plant.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
