Description:

8” x 24” wide, (seed propagated). The carpets of Soapwort’s bright pink flowers in our gardens always have customers rushing to the perennial sales area to ask, “What is that beautiful ground cover?” Vigorous to a fault, it readily reseeds itself and will spread rapidly in a favorable situation. Prompt shearing as the flowers fade keeps it tidy and prevents reseeding. A superior ground cover, particularly for cold, short season areas of the inter-mountain West. Zones 3-8.

Special Notes:

Plant with Rudbeckia ‘Goldstrum’, Echinacea ‘White Swan’ and Veronica liwanensis!
