This herbaceous perennial spreads slowly via rhizomes and forms thick clumps. It produces upright branching stems with oval smooth leaves. The multi-petaled pale pink or white blossoms bloom from late spring through summer. It features natural saponin content inside roots and stems, and it can survive cold winter temperatures down to frost zones.

Its rhizomatous habit allows it to form a lush low-maintenance patch once established. The plant contains natural saponins, historically used for gentle soap making.
