Tiarella ‘Happy Trails’
We selected 'Happy Trails' for its profusion of runners and charming small rounded lobed leaves that are marked with a thick black band on the veins. It's a vigorous trailer with short white flowers. Wonderful as a shade groundcover, cascading down a woodland slope, or weaving with other plants in a container or hanging basket. “Happy Trails to you…”
