Tiarella River™ Lehigh
Six inches tall with a spread of up to 12 inches wide
Plants Nouveau is proud to represent Sinclair A. Adam, Jr. famed plants-man in the exclusive introduction of his much awaited, newly selected line of ground covering, heart leaved foam flowers. Sinclair’s passion for breeding with native plants is known throughout the industry by such innovative introductions as Tiarella ‘Erika Leigh’, “Laird of Skye’, ‘Brandywine’ and ‘Oakleaf’. The River Series was selected from 15,000+ F1 hybrid seedlings that resulted from crossing the very hardy ‘Erika Leigh’ and a super heavy blooming, running unnamed Tiarella cordifolia seedling.
