This is a plant I've been looking for for some time, and I know Earthbabe was interested and had problems growing it.

I've found this link which gives detailed growing intructions, can someone please tell me where to get some seed/rhizome. Thanks.

Hi MB, I have some seed saved last year. Please pm me with your addy if you'd like some

I do not know if Saponaria officinalis is anything like the pinkish double form of it, BUT it is almost as rampant a thug as ground elder in this garden! We have been trying to eradicate it for 5 years and still it comes back up!

[supersprout]

Yes, I was given it with a health warning

[madderbat]

It could keep you clean though!

[Palustris]

I think I would rather be dirty!

I have plans to sprinkle seed copiously around the communal tap

Love the idea, just watch out for fish! apparently it sends them to sleep...

I shall bear that in mind if I ever become a fish and need a good snooze
