Foam flowers are a low-maintenance perennial that prefers well-drained soil rich in organic matter. They tolerate partial to full shade, and the lack of light doesn't prevent them from providing showy flowers in late spring. Foliage forms in a dense, clumping mound, making it an attractive addition to borders and rock gardens. In warmer regions, the foam flower is evergreen, retaining its foliage, which turns bronze over the winter.
