Wherry's Foam Flower is a shade-loving semi-evergreen perennial that grows in dense clumps of light green maple-like foliage that turns bronze in fall and winter. Airy raceme sporting deep pink buds open to sweetly fragrant, delicate white flowers that bloom in spring. Flowers best in part shade and moist rich soils.
