    I assume this plant gives flowers in spring? How long does the flowering last?

    I am planning a smaller shade garden and was wondering what is the approximate spread of these plants.

    The Tiarella start flowering in spring. ‘Pink Skyrocket’ is long blooming, lasting about 3 months for me, and ‘Sugar and Spice’ was fairly long blooming, too. I think these two flower longer than other varieties. Mine have spread a bit, but are not running at all. I have some other types of Tiarella that are spreading, or running types, which are great as a groundcover.

    You can read more about these Tiarella, and see more photos in the main article, http://northernshade.ca/2011/06/25/tiarella-for-beautiful-flowers-and-leaves-in-the-shade/.
