Description

Commonly called Soapwort, Saponaria ocymoides 'Max Frei' is a delightful, mat-forming groundcover that erupts in a carpet of bright pink, 5-petaled flowers from late spring to fall. It is especially popular with butterflies, who enjoy having ample space to land.

Saponaria 'Max Frei' Soapwort has deep green, semi-evergreen foliage that is attractive even when it's not in bloom. 'Max Frei' thrives in full sun and is drought tolerant, once established.

We ship via UPS & USPS (the Post Office), and their ship rates are automatically generated through our site. We do not profit on shipping costs. We are working with these providers to get our customers the best rates possible.

All ship times are subject to change if extreme weather conditions are present here at the nursery or at the shipping destination.

Please note: Depending on the time of year, the foliage of the plants may be trimmed to fit into our shipping boxes. This could delay the flowering of the plant, but many perennials actually benefit from being cut back.

We are currently not able to ship to Puerto Rico, Hawaii, and outside of the US.
