Saponaria are carpets of semi-evergreen trailing foliage. Delicate sprays of flowers cover the plant in early summer. If desired, prune back hard after flowering to promote more compact growth. Idaho has restricted all potted plant material from being shipped into Idaho at this time.
Good in most soils, but good winter drainage is important. Prune/shear back by 1/2 after flowering if foliage needs freshening. Leave foliage alone for winter. Clean up in spring. Can be divided every 3 - 5 years in late summer or early spring.
