Discover the beauty and versatility of two distinct plants known as soapweed: Soapwort, Saponaria officinalis, and Soaptree Yucca, Yucca elata. Soapwort, also called bouncing bet or fuller's soap, is a European native with delicate pink or white flowers, and it derives its name from the soap-like properties of its leaves and roots. In contrast, Soaptree Yucca, native to the southwestern United States, boasts tall, spear-like leaves and towering, bell-shaped white flowers. Both plants offer unique characteristics: Soapwort is a popular herb for making natural soap and herbal teas, while Soaptree Yucca is a striking addition to desert landscapes and provides food for wildlife. Explore the natural wonders of New Mexico's City of Rocks State Park and White Sands National Monument to witness these beautiful soapweeds in their natural habitats.
