Description

Soap plant is a bulb that grows 2-3' tall by 1.5' wide. It is a superb plant for evening flowers since the flowers only open late in the day or when it is very overcast. For a dramatic effect, plant in a meadow garden where it will go dormant during summer and fall. This easy to grow bulb has 2' tall spikes of small white flowers that bloom from May-August. Bulbs were an important food source for Native Americans and may be eaten when roasted. A California native.
