Abstract
A new variety of Tiarella cordifolia var. collina plant is provided that is well suited for growing as a distinctive ground cover. The new variety exhibits a compact mounding clump growth habit with the substantial absence of runners. Attractive white flowers are formed on unbranched flower stalks. The lobed leaves are ovate in configuration and possess a matte finish. During the summer the leaves are green and bear somewhat maroon centers. During the fall, the leaves assume a red coloration of variable intensity. The available choices of ornamental ground covers are expanded.
