Shade Gardening: The Tiarella, my favorite spring perennial, 2 by fernfarmer

Sugar and Spice is a great plant. In my part shade-part sun PNW garden, it blooms from late March to mid-September. It looks wonderful with both purple and lime foliage plants. New owners should know that it turns a beautiful bronzy pink color in the fall/winter if it gets a little sun (it will revert to it's bright green color the following spring). The second picture is not a good image, but shows the winter color pretty well. The first year I had it, it started changing color and I quickly moved the plant to a shadier location, thinking that I was killing it, but that is just it's natural habit (and the color is really pretty, if you don't associate it with impending demise!).
