Insights
This is a beautiful, clump-forming plant, especially when planted en masse, providing useful ground cover under deciduous shrubs, such as roses, and trees. Originating in the wooded, mountainous areas of North America, it is sometimes referred to as the Foam Flower due to the visual effect, from afar, created by the open flowers. The ‘foam’ of flowers also attracts bees.
