Tiarella 'Pink Bouquet'

Attracts:

• Pollinators: Bees and butterflies are drawn to the sweetly fragrant flowers, making it a great addition to pollinator gardens.
• Birds: The foliage provides shelter and nesting materials.

• Growth Season: Spring to Fall
• Winter Interest: Foliage may die back, but the plant remains dormant and can be covered with mulch for protection.
• Bloom Time: Late Spring to Early Summer (typically May to June).

– Woodland gardens – shaded borders – ground cover – naturalistic plantings – container gardens – underplanting for trees and shrubs – massing in moist shade

The leaves are dark green with a glossy finish, providing a beautiful backdrop for the vibrant flowers. The foliage may have attractive fall colors, turning shades of bronze or red as the season progresses.

Delicate spikes of fluffy pink flowers, resembling small bouquets, attract attention and add a soft, romantic touch to the garden.

• How to Plant: Dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball and the same depth. Place the plant in the center, backfill with soil, and water thoroughly.
• Best Time to Plant: Spring or early fall for optimal establishment.

• When to Prune: Prune back spent flowers after blooming to encourage new growth.

• Pruning Tips: Remove any dead or damaged foliage in early spring to promote healthy growth.

• Water Requirements: Keep the soil consistently moist, especially during the first growing season.
• Frequency: Water regularly; ensure that the plant does not sit in waterlogged soil.

Thrives in partial shade to full shade. Morning sun with afternoon shade is ideal.

Not applicable; primarily ornamental.

• When to Fertilize: Early spring with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer.
• Frequency: Once a year is generally sufficient.

• Mulching: Apply a layer of mulch in spring to retain moisture and suppress weeds.
• Pests & Diseases: Generally pest-resistant, though occasional monitoring for slugs and snails is advised.
