Tiarella ‘Pink Skyrocket’

Common Name:
Pink Skyrocket Foam Flower

Description:
Tiarella 'Pink Skyrocket' is a compact, clump-forming perennial prized for its decorative foliage and elegant spikes of soft pink and white flowers. Its deeply lobed, fresh green leaves feature prominent burgundy to dark maroon markings through the centre, creating an attractive display even when the plant is not in bloom. In spring, slender stems rise above the foliage carrying masses of small, starry flowers that open pink and gradually soften towards white, producing a delicate, frothy appearance. Well suited to Melbourne's cooler garden conditions, 'Pink Skyrocket' performs best in part shade with moist, humus-rich, well-drained soil and protection from hot afternoon sun. It is an excellent choice for woodland-style gardens, shaded borders, beneath deciduous trees and shrubs, or as an attractive container plant. Consistent moisture during Melbourne's warmer months will help maintain healthy foliage, while a layer of organic mulch assists in keeping the root zone cool. The foliage may remain semi-evergreen in sheltered conditions but can become dormant or untidy during colder winters.
