tiarella
/tɪəˈrɛlə
/noun
A small chiefly North American plant of the saxifrage family.
- Genus Tiarella, family Saxifragaceae, especially T. cordifolia.
- I'm also adding a few tiarellas in between, but they just aren't as hardy as the herbs though.
- As I occasionally deadheaded the shade perennials, I admired the tiarellas for their toughness - and their beauty of both leaf and form.
Origin
Modern Latin, from Latin tiara 'turban, tiara' + the diminutive suffix -ella.
