Tiarella cordifolia ‘Running Tapestry’
Choose Running Tapestry™ Foamflower for shaded beds where you want a native groundcover to knit plants together; the tradeoff is that it needs woodland-style moisture and looks subtle after spring bloom.
Buy This If
You want a spreading native groundcover.
Your site has shade and steady moisture.
You like spring flowers plus leaf texture.
Skip This If
The bed dries out between rains.
You need a sharp, contained border.
You want bold summer flower color.
PGNE Report Card
Category
Grade
Why
Landscape Impact
B
It gives shaded beds a finished, natural look, but the flowers are soft and seasonal rather than bold.
Growth Rate
A-
It spreads readily for a foamflower, which helps cover open shade without acting like a hard-running vine.
Maintenance
B+
Keep it from drying out and tidy the edges occasionally, and it should not ask for much else.
Deer Resistance
B+
Deer tend to leave this alone, though hungry deer may sample it where pressure is heavy.
Small Space Fit
B
It works well in small shaded beds if you are comfortable letting it form a colony.
Our Experience
At PGNE, we'd typically recommend this for shaded areas under trees where mulch keeps washing out or looking bare, as long as the soil is not dry and compacted.

Customers Usually Ask
Will it take over the bed?
It spreads, but it is better described as colony-forming than aggressive.
Does it need rich soil?
It does best with leaf-mold type soil or compost worked into tired shade beds.
Is it mainly for flowers or foliage?
Buy it mostly for foliage and groundcover; the spring flowers are a bonus.

Showed up on time and planted it perfectly. I indicated a light we had to illuminate it and they placed it for optimal lighting. Worked fast and left a clean worksite. First rate!

They delivered three trees: a big linden, a big poplar and a little spice bush with install on the big trees. The install guys were great and professional and fast. All the trees looked good with minimal damage.

I went up there today from Quincy MA to pick up two Blue Wichita Junipers and they were absolutely beautiful. Thank you, Chris and everybody from Pro Growers of New England!

The plants are beautiful and all 13 were consistent in height and width. And at a fraction of the cost of other garden centers. Having the team that delivered them do the planting was one of the best values I can think of. They did a great job from start to finish and even helped me with my watering system which they didn’t have to do!
