An easy no fuss plant to grow. Whether you're a beginning gardener or a seasoned gardener, once you get hooked on tiarellas, you will love having these perennial plants in your landscape or garden for years to come.
Tiarellas are easy perennials to grow and fit nicely in the front of any border, rock garden, or container. They grow most vigorously and have the strongest colors when grown in partial shade (preferably afternoon shade). They can also be grown in full shade but their growth rate will be very slow. Some varieties can withstand full sun in northern climates if they have consistent moisture, but their colors tend to fade with the intensity of the sun. The soil should be amended with organic matter prior to planting. It should also have good drainage. Tiarellas are also salt tolerant. They are useful in the north along pathways which are salted in winter or for people gardening in coastal regions.
NOTE: Tiarellas are plants that grow under Black Walnut trees because they are resistant to the toxin Juglone which the trees emit from their roots.

1. Well-drained, NEUTRAL soil (most folks have no idea that Tiarellas prefer neutral soil) and it must be well-drained They don't do well with very acid soil.
2. Divide them every couple of years and 'bring them back to earth'. Eventually they tend to have stems that are too long. If that happens, just break them apart and plant them farther down in the soil.
3. Most will take full sun in cooler, northern zones with adequate moisture.
