Saponaria officinalis 'Rosea Plena'

beautiful colour

Very pretty and georgous colour reminds me of the dresses I wore when I was about 7 , now I showing my age, when my mum use to go to the jumble sales buy the rock and roll dresses cut them up and make us 6 girls dresses out of them. lol

So dainty ..!

Carol likes this alot ..... :-))

It's a lovely colour :)

Snap, i have this... it is one of my favorites too, i have it planted all along my washing line bed... the smell is wonderful.... washing always smells extra nice this time of year :D

I do believe there's a white one...must keep an eye out for it!

it is very pretty spritz

ohh that sounds nice, not seen it in white...

Gorgeous delicate colour, is this a rockery plant soapwort by any chance just looks familiar, Barbra?

Is this the big sister to "Tumbling Ted"?

No, it's quite different from 'Tumbling Ted'! It's about 2' tall and stands up straight, it also spreads by rhizomes. I can't believe that they are both 'Saponaria'!

Sorry...I meant big....as in tall Spritz. I did have one a few years ago and was warned that it was a "spreader"....I planted the pot in the ground and it just shot away...........it had to go :(

Oooops! Mine is under control at the moment, but I never know from year to year exactly where the new stems are going to be!

Very pretty, so delicate.

It's a good'un. Mamagem - could you grow it over there?

i will agree it does spread... but how can you not want it too... it is lovely!

Yes Spritz, I do have the right zone for it. Why, do you have some seeds? I am always looking for new ones. It is very nice. Does it have a nice scent? I plant my scented flowers close to the doors so you get a nice smell as you walk in or out.

I don't even know whether it produces seeds, Mamagem, but I'll make a special point of looking this year! I don't think it has a scent, though. :-(
