Rock Soapwort is a strong, robust plant that can be used to spread down sunny slopes or over rock walls. In late spring, the plants form a low mound of bright-green leaves that are practically smothered by starry bright-pink flowers. Even suitable for use as an edging in a sunny border and in tubs or pots. Plants should be pruned hard after blooming to preserve a compact habit. A good drought tolerant.
