Saponaria, Bouncing Bet, Double White Soapwort, Goodbye Summer 'Alba Plena'

I absolutely love this plant. I bought 4 from Glenn Varner of Flower Scent Gardens the year before he closed his busness. It tends to sta...Read Morert spreading rather aggressively after the secong year, but it is easily controlled if you take a sharp shovel and push it into the perimeter. It is GORGEOUS, and the scent is soft and sweet. I took clumps of it to my new house.

This is NOT a plant for the plant it ignore it gardener!

This plant, mostly in pale lavender, white and pink variations was growing here when we bought the place. I have pulled and dug mountains...Read More of it and still have too much. It is a real survivor, and I will never be rid of the roots. I can only try to control the tops. It is pretty when it blooms, hardy, stubborn, and makes a great addition to the compost pile.
Overall, it has more negatives than positives in my garden. Container growing might be more practical for this plant, or try growing it where nothing else will survive.

Very fragrant, clump forming, easy to remove it need be to keep in place. Wondering if anyone has a picture of this flower to place on this website.
