Saponaria 'Pink Beauty'

Saponaria 'Pink Beauty' is a popular filler in cut flower arrangements. It is similar to baby's breath, but the flowers are much larger with sturdier stems. The 1-inch blooms are a lovely shade of dusty pink, appearing in well-branched sprays.

Saponaria 'Pink Beauty' is beautiful in the garden, adding an extra touch of charm. You can easily tuck it in between other annuals and perennials.

This variety blooms quickly - only 60 days from sowing. Start transplants every two weeks for a longer display. Harvest when one-third of the flowers are open. Dip the bottom few inches of the stems in boiling water for 7 seconds, then place in cool water. Vase life is 7 days.

Also known as Soapwort, Cow Soapwort, Gypsophila vaccaria, and Vaccaria hispanica.
