Tiarella ‘Pink Skyrocket’ partial shade

‘Pink Skyrocket’, a Terra Nova introduction, is one of the best pink flowering cultivars in the genus. Dissected Maple-like leaves, engraved with dark chocolate central blotches, shape a lush shiny green mound. “Skyrocketing” on tall sturdy stems, large, perfect-for-cutting spires are studded with round rosy buds and frothy pink and white star-shaped flowers. En masse, as an understory or along the border, this easy-to-grow, clump-forming evergreen works well skirting Viburnum, the Sichuan Deutzia and Sambucus. (pp#13382)
