I don't have a clue what this is. It comes back every year and may be very old as the property is historic. Any ideas? Thanks.![]() Don't make fear based decisions. |

Flower color resembles Bouncing Bet (Saponaria officinalis 'Flore Pleno') ~ Playing in the dirt is my therapy ... and I'm in therapy a lot! ~ |
I planted one of these about 25 years ago. Since then it has been spreading like wildfire, but it never blooms. It makes a nice ground cover, but I would appreciate some flowers. Any ideas? |

I dunno. Mine gets partial shade, and our soil tends to be acid. Miracid? Don't make fear based decisions. |
Mine has spread so much that it's in partial shade, full shade, and full sun, covering an area of about 12' x 20'. My soil has enough acid, I'm sure. The roses, irises, clematises, petunias, carnations, and trumpet vines in the same bed all bloom well. It's a real mystery. ![]() |

It is unquestionably Saponaria officinalis 'Flore Pleno', double-flowered bouncing bet. ('Flore Pleno' means double-flowered. It doesn't refer to a flower colour but the normal colours are pink and white.) |
