Tiarella 'Spring Symphony' is a compact, clump-forming perennial for shaded borders and woodland planting. It offers both decorative foliage and delicate flowers.

The deeply lobed green leaves show dark purple markings along the midribs. In late spring and early summer, upright stems carry spires of small, creamy-white flowers. These open from soft pink buds and bring light to shaded areas.
