Intreresting, Nancy. I grew soapwort for maybe 10 years in Zone 7b -- clay soil -- and it was very mild-mannered. Spread just a bit, but not much. I would have liked a bit more. May have been the clay that made the difference....

Soapwort ( Saponaria officinallis) is another pest that challenges me  
here in the country. I was into herbs and charmed by the fact I could  
use it as soap. Plus, the lovely pink blossoms made a charming  
addition to my English border. It will be with me forever.
