Candy Striper is a foamflower, a native woodland relative of heuchera, with deeply cut green leaves marked dark burgundy along the veins. In spring it sends up bottlebrush spikes of pink-and-white bloom that keep coming for weeks, floating over foliage that stays attractive all season. It stays under a foot tall.

Give it shade to dappled light and moist, organic soil; it is happiest in the same ground as ferns, heuchera, and hostas. Deer and rabbits pass it by. Use it toward the front of a woodland bed where the striped foliage can be admired up close.
