The foam flower (Tiarella cordifolia) is a perennial plant that prefers moist, well-drained soil and requires partial to full shade. Watering should be consistent, keeping the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged. This plant is native to the eastern United States, including the Appalachian Mountains. Ideal for woodland or rain gardens, this plant will produce the delicate, foam-like flowers of its namesake in late spring to early summer.

Harmony in Bloom: Pairing Royal Raindrops Crabapple with Complementary Plants
In the world of landscaping, few trees rival the stunning visual impact of the Royal Raindrops Crabapple. With its vibrant burgundy foliage and abundant blossoms, this ornamental tree can transform any garden into a breathtaking display of color and texture. Today, we explore the art of harmonizing this regal tree with complementary plants to create a garden symphony that resonates with beauty and balance.
Royal Raindrops Crabapple Overview
Before delving into ideal pairings, let's take a moment to appreciate the unique qualities of the Royal Raindrops Crabapple. Known scientifically as Malus 'Royal Raindrops,' this deciduous tree boasts deep red, cutleaf foliage that matures to a rich purple hue. In spring, the tree bursts into a profusion of deep pink to red blossoms, attracting pollinators and turning the garden into a visual spectacle.
Creating Contrast with Evergreens
One effective strategy for enhancing the visual impact of the Royal Raindrops Crabapple is to create contrast with evergreen companions. The year-round greenery of evergreen plants provides a stunning backdrop that allows the striking features of the crabapple to stand out.
Consider pairing your Royal Raindrops Crabapple with low-maintenance evergreens like Boxwoods (Buxus spp.) or Japanese Holly (Ilex crenata). Their glossy green leaves provide a perfect canvas for the Royal Raindrops' burgundy foliage and ensure a vibrant display even in the winter months.
Seasonal Drama with Spring Blooms
To maximize the visual interest throughout the growing season, strategically plant perennials and shrubs that bloom in tandem with the Royal Raindrops Crabapple in spring. This creates a dynamic landscape that evolves with the changing seasons.
Celebrate spring with the delicate blooms of Bleeding Heart (Dicentra spectabilis) or the vibrant hues of Coral Bells (Heuchera spp.). These plants not only complement the crabapple's blossoms but also extend the period of color in your garden.
Understory Planting for Ground-Level Appeal
Enhance the vertical dimension of your garden by incorporating low-growing plants beneath the Royal Raindrops Crabapple. This understory planting not only adds visual interest but also helps in weed suppression and moisture retention.
Opt for groundcovers like Creeping Jenny (Lysimachia nummularia) or Foamflower (Tiarella cordifolia). Their spreading habit and contrasting foliage provide a lush carpet that beautifully contrasts with the crabapple's upright structure.
Fragrance and Texture with Companion Shrubs
Extend the sensory experience in your garden by including fragrant and textural companion shrubs that harmonize with the Royal Raindrops Crabapple. These shrubs add depth and diversity to your planting scheme.
Lilacs (Syringa spp.) or Viburnums (Viburnum spp.) are excellent choices, offering fragrant blooms and appealing textures. Their presence enhances the overall garden ambiance while complementing the Royal Raindrops' majestic appearance.
A Symphony of Colors and Textures with Royal Raindrops Crabapple
In conclusion, the Royal Raindrops Crabapple is not just a tree; it's a centerpiece for creating a symphony of colors and textures in your garden. By carefully selecting complementary plants that span seasons and dimensions, you can elevate the visual appeal of your outdoor space to new heights.

Tiarella cordifolia
Heart Leaf Foamflower
Another Eastern North America mesic forest member of the saxifrage family. In Appalachia this is the star of the stream lining communities and seap communities during the transition from spring to summer; but, it’s not limited to requiring these seaps or streams, rich woodlands and decaying stumps offer enough moisture and nutrients for a foot hold. I suppose some people may argue there favorite var. or microspecies: (T. wherryi byosyn.= T. cordifolia ssbsp. wherryi), T. cordifolia var. cordifolia, and T. cordifolia var. collina.
Though, thats probably going to be a discussion based on how you see these in-situ or in a garden.
As for microspecies denotation: there are current and on going bouts for arguements based on apomictic conjunction in-situ from outcrossing hybrids that evolved in allopatric events and now occur synonymously by aesthetic in populations, meeting or reconverging in sympatry. Stolon conjunction and disconnection is present only in what some people confirm as T. wherryi where apomictic populations persist and form by vivipory mainly instead of seed casting. The issue stems from occasional outcrossing events and imbrications of species in sympatry, almost like a reconverging and settling. (small scale Species cladistics level brading?) Anywho, MOBOT collective does note this issue somewhat and in FNA vol. 8 a foot note was added along time ago about accepted species designation, instead of calling it a microsp or subsp.
“Tiarella wherryi and T. cordifolia have been differentiated primarily on the basis of lack of stolons in T. wherryi. Such plants grow in mixed populations and it has been impossible to differentiate taxa on the basis of herbarium specimens. It is also thought that the differences between the taxa might be a result of altitudinal variation in habitat. Attempts by Lakela to distinguish var. cordifolia and var. austrina on the basis of leaf dimensions and marginal dentation have been thwarted by continuous variation in these characteristics.” - Flora of North America, MOBOT, (VOL. 8)
Any-whom’st’ve this is a stress post, and I should be studying for finals.

This is in one of THE shadiest and THE driest spots in the woodland garden. Pachysandra was attempted a few years back but (fortunately) couldn't take it.
This Tiarella cordifolia while not exactly ruling this tough turf, it is nonetheless holding on.
