The outer petals are bright fuchsia-pink, while the inner ones are white. The flowers strikingly resemble the conventional heart shape, with a droplet beneath – hence the common name. [4] The plant sometimes behaves as a spring ephemeral, becoming dormant in summer.
Tiarella cordifolia, the heart-leaved foamflower, is a species of flowering plant in the family Saxifragaceae.

They are fast growers and a 10-year-old sapling may stand about 6 metres (20 ft) tall. They have characteristic large, heart-shaped leaves, which in some species are three-lobed. The appearance of the leaves sometimes causes confusion with species such as the unrelated tung tree (Vernicia fordii) and Paulownia tomentosa.
An individual plant can live 12 years, surviving periodic wildfire by resprouting from its long, slender rhizome afterward. [7] [8] The species could be confused with the similar Arnica latifolia, from which it can be distinguished by the leaves. The leaves of A. cordifolia are larger and heart-shaped. [9]
It has bright green, heart-shaped, fleshy shiny leaves 4–13 centimetres (1.6–5.1 in) long. Wart-like tubers are produced on aerial stems and are a key to identifying the plant. From late summer to autumn, it produces masses of small, fragrant ( cardamom -like), cream-coloured flowers on dependent racemes , which may be up to 30 cm (12 in ...
