Foamflower is the quintessential shade garden plant. Mounds of attractive foliage give rise to tall racemes of airy white flowers in spring that are stunning when planted en masse. 'Slick Rock' is a cultivar discovered by Jim Plyler of Natural Landscapes Nursery, which has a handy running habit, making it a fantastic ground cover in those shady, moist areas of your garden!
