Common Soapwort
3,78 $
As this plant’s many names might suggest, this plant is rich in saponin, a substance with foaming and cleaning properties. Usually, the rhizomes are used as they contain the most saponin; their decoction can be used as laundry soap. Additionally, it is a perennial plant and has pretty flowers, pink and slightly fragrant, which are in bloom all summer long. The plant spreads by rhizomes, creating nice flowering patches.
