Tiarella Trifoliata Sugar Scoop

This is the third season Tiarella Trifoliata Sugar Scoop has bloomed in the garden.
I actually ordered Tiarella Iron Butterfly. The mail order company called to tell me it was out of stock.
I rook a chance and told them to send another variety, What you see is what arrived. Three plants without labels.
A little research has convinced me it is a form of Sugar Scoop. I reckon It is the best flowering Tiarella I have ever come across.
Sugar Scoop may not have the fancy marked foliage which we associate with Tiarella, however the flower power more than makes up for it.
Here in East Fife the blooms start to open in late April and by the middle of May the effect is stunning.
The Tiarella Sugar Scoop is a herb native to North Western America which makes a perfect bedding plant for front of the garden border.
Although the plant is described as having a preference for semi shade, it performs very well in the border of our back garden where it gets a good six hours sunshine a day.
However, keep in mind the Spring and Summer temperatures in East Scotland may be well below what you experience.
This form of Tiarella grows rapidly and in no time at all will be ready to divide and plant in other areas of the garden.
Although the Spring flush of blooms are the best, Sugar Scoop will continue to flower throughout the Summer.
I have no hesitation in recommending this plant, Unfortunately the mail order company I bought it from no longer has it.
A Google search offers it in seed form from Amazon, here in the UK and USA.
