It forms low groundcovers and grows in dense clumps. It typically reaches 15 to 30 cm tall and bears finely toothed, heart-shaped basal leaves. In spring, it produces upright flowering stems bearing many small, starry white to pinkish flowers, adding a bright touch to the understory and shaded gardens.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\" style=\"font-size: 10pt; font-family: Calibri,Arial; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal;\" data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10pt;\"\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\" style=\"font-family: Arial; font-style: normal;\"\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\" style=\"font-size: 10pt; font-family: Calibri,Arial; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal;\"\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\" style=\"font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Arial;\" data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/akene.ca\/en\/blogs\/publications-in-english\/i-the-sociability-index-of-plants-an-essential-tool-for-designing-sustainable-natural-landscapes\" title=\"Sociability index of plants\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eSociability index\u003c\/a\u003e: 3 to 4 \u003c\/strong\u003e→ Indicates the plant’s behaviour in space and its interactions with other plants.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMedicinal and culinary uses\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMedicinally, the whole plant is reported to have diuretic, hepatic, lithontriptic, stomachic, and tonic properties.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEcological roles\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the understory, \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003estoloniferous foamflower acts as a groundcover that helps retain moisture and limit erosion. Its spring bloom is a nectar source for bees, butterflies, and other pollinators; the dense colonies it forms create microhabitats for small invertebrates and enrich the diversity of the forest understory. In Quebec, its spring flowering supports bumblebee queens emerging from winter and hoverflies; the dense cover favours ground beetles and other understory invertebrates.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNote on the name\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003eThis plant has long been sold under the name foamflower (\u003cem\u003eTiarella cordifolia\u003c\/em\u003e).
