Description

Put on a show with Saponaria ocymoides ‘Tumbling Ted’. With its cascades of tiny rose-pink flowers, it creates a frothy carpet of colour that looks as though it’s poured itself over walls, rockeries, and containers.

From May onwards, every stem bursts into flower, covering the plant in hundreds of blooms that last well into summer. The effect is magical… Soft, colourful, and cheerful, and because the plant stays low without exceeding 10cm or so tall, it never overwhelms but instead enhances every edge, nook, and cranny it touches.

Hardy and undemanding, this perennial is a brilliant choice for beginners as well as seasoned gardeners. Once planted, it needs very little in the way of care. It copes with drought once established, thrives in well-drained soil, and asks only for a sunny spot to really shine.

And pollinators cant resist it! Bees and butterflies flock to the nectar-rich blooms, adding life and movement alongside the colour.

With 10 bare root plants, you can create generous drifts of tumbling colour, cascade them over a wall, brighten the front of borders, or fill awkward corners of the garden with something truly eye-catching.

Supplied as a set of 10 bare roots, ready to plant.
