Saponaria (Burnet)
at Digging Dog
Including Saponaria x oliviana and Saponaria lempergii Max Frei
Saponaria
Soapwort
Naturals for the rockery or a well drained border, their paired leaves promise a lengthy profusion of flowers in showy clusters. These low growing European charmers like a lean soil.
Saponaria x lempergii ‘Max Frei’ 
Pretty loose bouquets of pure pink, inch-wide blossoms blanket ‘Max Frei’s noninvasive mass of slender and shiny green leaves nearly all summer long. Let this superlative Swiss hybrid spill over the edge of a bed, beautify a rock wall, or act as a colorful, small-scale ground cover.
Blooms June–October. Size: 12" high x 18"–2' wide; hardy to zone 5. Saponaria x lempergii ‘Max Frei’ (p-0133)
Each $7.00

Saponaria x oliviana
Polish Soapwort
Nestled on tidy, tight green evergreen cushions of very thin, succulentlike foliage, the myriad, nearly stemless blooms in ravishing rose-red hues stage an unbeatable display. Tuck Polish Soapwort into a crevice and you’ll soon see why this pumilio and caespitosa hybrid is touted as one of the most superb, freely flowering additions for the rockery.
Blooms June–July. Size: 3"–4" high x 12" wide; hardy to zone 4. Saponaria x oliviana (p-1284)
