Abstract
A new and distinct hybrid of Tiarella plant characterized by unique compact form, distinctive foliage shape and outstanding bloom color.
Description
The present invention relates to a new and distinct hybrid of Tiarella, which originated as a cross-pollination of Tiarella ‘Pink Bouquet’ (pollen parent) (unpatented) and an unnamed Tiarella seedling 97-7 (seed parent) (unpatented) in the Saxifrage family. Due to the fact that the parents are from interspecific crosses and several species are involved, no species designations can be given. The new variety has been reproduced only by asexual propagation (division and tissue culture). Each of the progeny exhibits identical characteristics to the original plant.
This plant is characterized by the following:
1. Unique compact form.
1. Distinctive small, well-marked foliage.
3. Outstanding bloom color.
Asexual propagation by division and tissue culture as done in Canby, Oreg., shows that the foregoing characteristics and distinctions come true to form and are established and transmitted through succeeding propagations. The present invention has not been evaluated under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary with variations in environment without a change in the genotype of the plant.
The FIGURE is a picture of Tiarella “Spring Symphony” in bloom in April in Canby, Oreg.
The following is a detailed description of the new Tiarella hybrid based on observations of two year old specimens grown in a cool greenhouse in Canby, Oreg. The color descriptions are all based on The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart.

Spring/Summer upper surface: RHS 137A Green group. Note: two colors may be visible on the leaves of the same plant in spring. Coloration is dependent on the maturity of the leaf. Old over-wintered leaves show the color RHS 200A Brown Group and young new leaves are RHS 137A Green group. Winter color upper surface: RHS 200A Brown Group. Spring/Summer lower surface: RHS 147B Yellow-Green Group. Coloration of the leaf centers/mature leaves: RHS 187A Greyed Purple Group.
