Pink Beauty Saponaria Seed

Item #HSC-SAP-001-PKT

An airy filler for cool seasons.

Tiny dusty pink flowers, ¾–1" across, float above waxy gray-blue leaves.

Sturdy and easy to grow, with thicker, stronger, taller stems than annual gypsophila, which it otherwise resembles, so it is easier to handle. Branching plants. Also called soapwort or cow soapwort.

Flowers about 55–65 days from sowing, on plants 24–34" tall. Open-pollinated.
