Saponins within this plant have long been valued as a cleanser for all manner of things from skin to metals, hence the common name ‘Bouncingbet’, as this was an old fashioned name for a washer woman. In fact, a lather can be produced if you rub the leaves between your hands. Though considered toxic the Dutch used it to give a better head to beer and saponins are still used for that purpose today. Fragrant, panicle like cymes of pink flowers appear from early summer to autumn. Deer resistant. Prefers well-drained soil in sun. Height 60cm (24”) spread 50cm (20”). Herbaceous perennial. Delivery April onwards.
