Tiarella ‘Pink Skyrocket’ – Starry Blooms and Striking Foliage for Shady Spaces

General Information

Tiarella, often called Foamflower, is native to woodland areas of North America. Known for its resilience and shade tolerance, it has become a popular choice for naturalistic plantings and low-maintenance gardens. The ‘Pink Skyrocket’ variety stands out for its richly coloured foliage and soft pink flower spikes.

• Habit: Compact, clump-forming perennial with decorative foliage and upright flower spikes.

• Height & spread: Typically 30–40cm tall in flower and 30–45cm wide.

• Foliage: Deeply lobed green leaves with dark central markings; semi-evergreen in mild climates.

• Flowers: Spires of star-shaped, pale pink blooms that rise gracefully above the foliage.

• Flowering season: April to June, with a long-lasting display in cool springs.

• Position: Prefers partial to full shade but tolerates dappled sun.

• Soil: Moist, humus-rich, well-drained soil; thrives in woodland-style planting.

• Hardiness: Fully hardy across the UK and Ireland.

• Uses: Excellent for shady borders, woodland gardens, underplanting shrubs, groundcover, or containers.

Its elegant flowers and ornamental foliage make it equally useful as a feature plant or as a soft filler in shaded planting schemes.

Care Guide

Tiarella ‘Pink Skyrocket’ is easy to grow and rewards gardeners with both beautiful foliage and delicate flowers.

Planting

• When to plant: Best in spring or autumn when soil is moist and temperatures are mild.

• Depth & spacing: Plant at the same depth as in the pot; space 30–40cm apart to allow clumps to spread.

• Containers: Thrives in pots and planters with moisture-retentive but well-draining compost.

• Companions: Pairs beautifully with hostas, ferns, heucheras, and pulmonarias for a lush woodland feel.

Watering & Feeding

• Keep soil consistently moist, especially during dry periods.

• Water container plants regularly to prevent drying out.

• Feed in spring with a balanced, slow-release fertiliser or apply a mulch of compost or leaf mould to boost soil health.

Pruning & Maintenance

• Remove spent flower spikes after blooming to keep plants looking tidy.

• Trim away any damaged or tired leaves in early spring to make way for fresh growth.

• Divide clumps every 3–4 years in spring or autumn to rejuvenate plants and prevent overcrowding.

Protection

• Fully hardy in most UK regions but may appreciate mulch in colder areas to protect roots in winter.

• Generally pest- and disease-free, though watch for vine weevils in container-grown plants.

• Shade-loving and tolerant of most woodland conditions.
