Tiarella
'Butterfly Wings' (PP#13,629) is an
unusual-looking foamflower introduced by The
Primrose Path in 2001. It is a non-running form
that has foliage cut so deeply that the leaves
are separated into five separate sections. The
two on each side are usually raised above the
central section, so that the leaves resemble
butterflies about to take flight. In addition the
centers of the leaves are heavily marked with
maroon. In spring the plants have light pink
flowers on 14-16" stems.
Other Tiarella with compound foliage have been
introduced in the past few years, but 'Butterfly
Wings' has been by far the most vigorous and
attractive of the cut-leaved clump-forming
varieties in our trials. |
| 'Butterfly Wings' is a
relatively compact form and is especially well
suited to being grown in containers or raised
beds where the interesting leaf shape can be seen
closer up. |
