Description
Rock Soapwort is a true overachiever—blanketing rocky outcrops, stone walls, and spilling over container edges with frothy clouds of rose-pink blooms. This perennial dazzles in late spring through early summer with a carpet of blooms and lush, soft foliage.
As hard-working as it is heavenly, Rock Soapwort thrives where others falter. Deer and drought resistant once established. Ideal for rock gardens, containers, border edges, and slopes in need of a floral facelift.
After flowers fade, cut back by around half and be rewarded by another flush of branching, dense growth and a second bloom.
