XL Mylar Packet – Soapwort SeedsGold Vault Mylar Zip Packet Originally, this hardy plant grew in the mountains of the Mediterranean region and southwestern Asia. The genus name “Saponaria” comes from the Latin word for soap, referring to the plant’s ancient use in soap-making. Rumor has it that this plant produces such a gentle and cleansing lather that it has been used for cleaning fragile museum pieces. This plant has been awarded the Royal Horticultural Society’s Award of Garden Merit. Direct sow in late fall, pressing into the surface of the soil since this plant needs light to germinate. For spring planting, mix the seeds with moist sand and store in the refrigerator for 30 days before planting. Keep the soil lightly moist until germination, which usually takes 14-30 days. The seeds can also be started indoors 6-8 weeks before planting in spring. Keep seedlings lightly moist, and transplant them as soon as they have developed several leaves.
