Numerous Foam Flower spikes of small white flowers appear in a raceme form.

A large foam flower plant with many dentate lobed leaves have stalks of small white flowers. In the background is a large tree trunk.

A foamflower plant with a stalk of flower buds has slightly reddish-green leaves. It is among zig zag goldenrod and other forest plants.

There is a single plant of foam flower with bright green, pointy leaves and reddish, deep veins has a few flower spikes with small white flowers.

Several flower spikes stick up from a multitude of bright green, deeply veined, lobed pointy leaves.

This is a close-up of a flower stalk of foam flower. Flowers are small and white with petals spread wide and an ovary (carpel) sticking up from the center).

Foam Flower populations in Michigan are concentrated in the thumb area and the northern lower peninsula. They are also found in the upper peninsula. The plant favors cool, moist areas, like shady ravines, the north sides of hills, etc.

Flowers are on a raceme (on a stalk with flower stems of equal length, flowering from the bottom up). They are small and white, in the shape of stars. Stamens have peachy colored anthers. The leaves are reminiscent of maple leaves, but they are hairy and can vary in color with some being all green and others having some red near the veins.

Once flowers are pollinated, seeds form on what looks like a little oval tray with a covering. It’s a neat set up because when rain falls, the tiny seeds will bounce out of the “tray.”

If you have a nice cool corner of a shade garden, this plant may do well there, if there is plenty of organic material. If planted in the sun, they will survive only if there is ample moisture and constant replacement of decaying leaves. Leaves of the plant will be pale green instead of deep green if grown in the sunlight.

Once flowering and seed production are done, Foam Flower sends out runners with leaves. Where the runners come in contact with the soil, roots will form. They spread this way, by stolon, rather than underground rhizomes.
