Foamflower ‘Running Tapestry’ is a vigorous, stoloniferous selection of the native Tiarella cordifolia, known for its richly textured foliage and ability to form a lush, tapestry-like carpet in shade gardens. Its deeply lobed leaves display bold burgundy veining that intensifies with cooler weather, adding multi-season interest even after flowering. In spring, frothy spires of pale pink to white blooms emerge above the foliage, providing early-season nectar for native bees and hoverflies.

This selection spreads by runners to form a thick, weed-suppressing mat—ideal for naturalizing under trees, stabilizing shaded slopes, or filling rain gardens with beauty and function. It thrives in dappled light and moist, humus-rich soils, where it excels as a low-maintenance groundcover that also improves habitat structure.

Special Note: While ‘Running Tapestry’ is a cultivated selection, it maintains the native genetics and ecological integrity of Tiarella cordifolia. It offers the same pollinator support and habitat value as the straight species, with added vigor and aesthetic refinement—making it a thoughtful choice for native-focused designs where robust performance is also desired.
