Tiny White Flowers

Plants with small open flowers good for short tongued pollinators are blooming.


 Above Tiarella cordifolia 'Brandywine' from my friend Teresa is more a foliage plant but these foamy flowers are a delight for pollinators & me. Learn all about these plants from Tony Avent.

Serrisa foetida has done well in my garden although it does lose it's leaves in winter; in spring it bursts into bloom with a profusion of single white flowers. Around the corner from this shady garden the rabbits eat the small divisions I put in there almost to the ground. Each year they leaf out on the shrubby stubs and gain stature but no flowers yet. Maybe next year. This plant is often used for bonsai due to it's tiny flowers & foliage.
