Description
Tiarella 'Mystic Mist' - literally 'Mystic Mist', lives up to its name. This new hybrid variety astonishes and charms with its unique foliage, mysteriously dusted with a white mist. Its evergreen, rounded leaves resemble those of heucheras; their blue-green lamina is also marked by wide dark macules radiating from deep veins of a very dark red-brown. The autumn and winter foliage is irresistible, frosted with white in rose-orange. It is adorned with a beautiful spring flowering, with feathery white to very pale cream spikes. This superb hardy perennial plant spreads laterally to form an excellent groundcover, particularly colourful in damp shade.
Tiarella 'Mystic Mist' belongs to the Saxifragaceae family. This horticultural hybrid is derived from Tiarella cordifolia, among others. It is related to Heucheras with which it readily hybridises. It is native to North American woodlands. It reaches an adult size of about 30 cm (12in) in all directions. This Tiarella forms a spreading clump. Its evergreen foliage is truly remarkable throughout the year. Its palmate and lobed leaves, pale green and entirely speckled with white, measure about 8 cm (3in) in length and are beautifully crinkled and marked with a dark star-shaped central spot that follows the course of its veins. In autumn and winter, the leaves take on fabulous shades of pink and soft orange. These hues are even more pronounced when temperatures drop during winter. In May, individual flowers appear, which are slightly fragrant. They are densely arranged in 'brushes' on stems about 30 cm (12in) in height, and offer a beautiful range from pale cream-white to white, depending on their fading over time. This plant spreads by stolons and can quickly cover a large area. Good soil drainage is necessary as it does not tolerate stagnant moisture in winter.
In the wild, Tiarellas are generally found in wooded or alpine environments, in damp, moist soil. They are therefore a perfect plant for damp woodlands or rockeries. They thrive in the company of ferns, hostas, Impatiens balfourii, Solomon's seals, and astilbes. They can also be used as waterside plants, to accompany Rodgersias, orange Carex testacea in winter. They will also thrive in containers or pots in the shade. They should be planted in a well-drained potting mix with minimal fertilizer, with watering carefully 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 a minimum of 10 weeks of cold temperatures the following year. Cold is therefore necessary for this perennial to mature.

Planting and care
Easy to maintain, Tiarella Mystic Mist thrives in all moist to wet, well-drained, neutral to acidic soils. It should be planted in partial shade or dense shade (although the foliage colour may be less vibrant). It is essential to avoid full sun and excessive moisture 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 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 for rejuvenation purposes.

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.
