Description
Like nature’s own symphony awakening in the Irish woodland, Tiarella ‘Spring Symphony’ brings an enchanting melody of colour and texture to shaded corners of your garden. This delightful perennial creates a harmonious carpet of heart-shaped leaves crowned with delicate spires of foamy white flowers, perfectly suited to Ireland’s temperate climate and woodland-style plantings.
The visual impact of ‘Spring Symphony’ is truly captivating, with its bronze-tinted spring foliage providing a stunning backdrop to clouds of tiny white flowers that dance on slender stems above the leafy mound. Each flower spike resembles delicate foam, creating an ethereal effect that brings light and movement to darker garden areas, whilst the attractive foliage provides interest throughout the growing season.
This North American native has earned its place in Irish gardens through its exceptional hardiness and adaptability to our climate conditions. Tiarella thrives in the cool, moist conditions that characterise many Irish gardens, making it an ideal choice for naturalising beneath trees or creating ground cover in woodland gardens where its spreading habit can be fully appreciated.
Pair ‘Spring Symphony’ with fellow shade-lovers such as Heuchera, Astilbe, and Hosta to create a tapestry of complementary textures and colours. It works beautifully alongside ferns and spring bulbs, creating a naturalistic planting scheme that captures the essence of an Irish woodland garden whilst providing months of gentle beauty.
Caragh Garden Notebook
Plant in autumn or spring, spacing 30-40cm apart in moist, well-drained soil enriched with organic matter. Ideal pH range is 6.0-7.0. Excellent for container growing – use a loam-based compost with added leaf mould for best results.
Provide consistent moisture during dry spells, particularly in spring during active growth. Apply a mulch of leaf mould or well-rotted compost around plants in autumn. Deadhead spent flower spikes to encourage a second flush of blooms and maintain tidy appearance.
Divide clumps every 3-4 years in early autumn or spring to maintain vigour. Lift carefully with a fork, separate into smaller sections ensuring each has roots and growing points, then replant immediately. Water well after division and keep soil consistently moist until established.
