The pointed lobes give the plant a lacy texture that lights up shade.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIvory flower spikes rise just above the leaves in early spring. It is a semi-running type that forms a compact, dense mound with only modest spreading, a good fit for woodland beds, shaded borders and containers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat it looks like\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSlender, fluffy flower spikes 3 to 5 inches long of tiny star-shaped ivory flowers, held just above the foliage. Leaves are deeply lobed with sharply pointed edges, 3 to 4 inches long, bright green with a bold burgundy blotch at the center like a painted handprint, giving a lacy look. The plant forms a compact, dense, rounded mound about 9 inches tall and 12 inches wide, spreading slowly. At peak it looks like a bright green lace cushion dotted with ivory wands.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eGrowing it with lavender\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFoamflower needs shade and moist, woodsy soil, so keep it away from the sunny lavender beds and plant it under trees, along a shaded walk or with hostas and ferns.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlant in part to full shade in humus-rich soil that stays evenly moist but drains well.
