Saponaria ocymoides, commonly called rock soapwort, is a semi-evergreen herbaceous perennial ground cover native to the rocky, mountainous slopes of southwestern and south central Europe.
This plant is densely branched with a mounding to trailing habit, creating a mat 6-8″ tall with a 1-2′ spread.
The leaves are oval to lance-shaped, up to 1″ long and 0.5″ wide, held close to the stems, and greyish-green in color.
The stems have a reddish coloration and can be semi-woody.
Both the stems and leaves are covered in fine hairs.
In summer (May to August) the plant is carpeted in sprays of small, bright pink flowers, 0.5-1″ in diameter.
The bloom period can last up to three weeks.
