Soapwort is a wide-spread perennial plant found in waste places and along roadsides and railroad embankments in eastern North America, Asia, and Europe. The finger-thick creeping rootstock produces a reddish, branching stem, which grows from 1 to 3 feet high and bears opposite ovate, pointed leaves whose bases clasp the stem. Flat-topped corymbed clusters of pink sometimes white or purple flowers bloom from June to August.
