The Cutting Edge Foamflower is one of the first perennials to feed the bees in early spring. Combine beautifully with hostas, ferns, bleeding hearts and sedges. The leaves have dark burgundy centers and this plant is evergreen in several climates. Meaning it will provide beautiful color even during cold winter months. There are white colored flowers that bloom early spring. These plants are also deer resistant. This woodland perennial thrives in partial to full shade and humus-rich, moisture retentive soil. Whether you live in zone 4 or zone 9, or anywhere in between, you can grow this plant successfully.
In garden containers, use this as a filler. Fillers tend to be rounded or mounded to give the combination a fuller look. Fillers are usually placed in front of, or around, the Thriller. Consider growing these in garden planters or containers for added flexibility on locations limited on space or sunlight. Great for cut flower arrangements or bouquets. Stays short and perfect as a border plant, which are perfect placed along the edge of a garden bed or path. Plant these to provide well-defined edging along various features in your landscape such as the border between your property and the neighbors, to a border along a hardscape feature in your yard, such as a driveway or sidewalk; or to the plants that edge a perennial garden. Fantastic as a mass planting, which is a method of filling in a landscape area with flower groupings of one or more kinds of plants. This is typically done to reduce maintenance by minimizing weeds or to create drama by drawing attention to the area. The Cutting Edge Foamflower typically grows 8-10 inches tall, and 16-18 inches wide. For best plant health and results, space these plants 16-18 inches apart, center on center. The growth habit is clumping.
