Rock Soapwort

(Saponaria ocymoides)

This fire-resistant, semi-evergreen perennial is smothered in stunning pink blooms from mid to late spring. It adds a delicate texture to the landscape and is a favourite for rock walls and rock gardens. The low growing spreading habit makes it an excellent fire-resistant living mulch – a practical alternative to bark mulch in the intermediate zone.
