Saponaria ocymoides, commonly referred to as rock soapwort, is a semi-perennial herbaceous perennial plant native to the rocky slopes of the mountains of south-central and southwest Europe.
There are 30 to 40 species[1] in the Saponaria genus. With its abundant flowers and vigorous growth, this perennial plant has made its home in gardens everywhere. These plants were not only cultivated for their conspicuous flowers but were also cultivated for practical reasons such as soap.
