Soapwort Plug Plants Saponaria officinalis

Common names include crow soap and soapweed.

Soapwort is a charming, low-maintenance perennial that adds beauty and a touch of history to your garden. Known for its vibrant clusters of pink or white flowers, soapwort is both an ornamental and functional plant. Its leaves contain natural saponins, which can be used to make a gentle, soap-like solution, making it a traditional favourite for homemade cleansers. The plant’s sprawling habit and delicate flowers make it a perfect addition to wildflower, cottage, or herb gardens.

Soapwort thrives in well-drained soil and sunny to partially shaded spots, making it easy to grow in a variety of garden settings. Whether you’re looking to add colour to your garden or create natural cleaning products, soapwort is a versatile and unique addition to any landscape.

Our strong, healthy plants are grown in 40cc cell trays and are ready to be planted in their final position.

Sourced from native seed and grown for us in the UK, our plug plants are an ideal way to boost species in a wildflower meadow or to easily establish plants in your garden or in areas where seed germination can be erratic. 

We recommend planting 5 plugs per metre square in groups of at least 3 per species for a naturalistic look.
