Foamflower
Tiarella cordifolia
In the United States:
Native
· also called foamflower, heartleaf foamflower
Honeybees visit foamflower mainly for its pollen during early spring, with peak bloom from April to May providing support for emerging colonies. Nectar rewards are minimal, making it a supplementary rather than surplus source. It spreads by runners to form groundcover but requires moist shade to thrive and is occasionally browsed by deer.
