Saponaria officinalis Common soapwort
Hierba jabonera
This beautiful plant is native to Europe and west to Siberia, which makes it even more remarkable that I had never found it before! It can grow to a height of 1metre, and spread to 1m as this was. The leaves can be boiled to make a gentle soap. It flowers from June to August. It was a solitary plant as we could not find any others.
