I was just trialing these and they did well and caught the eye of the customer. H. 'marmalade' is one of the strongest growers for me. Great color and vigor. H.'berry smoothie' seems to be a strong grower as well. The only Tiarella i grow is 'sugar and spice'. Nice semi-trailing habit and glossy foliage and a strong bloom in april. I'm always waiting for the new Terra Nova catalog. Check out this photo from my hoop house in spring.
