Saponaria officinalis, Caryophyllaceae
Soapwort is a pleasantly scented plant in the carnation family, containing saponins with foaming and cleansing properties.

This pretty perennial plant is easy to plant in a sunny spot in the garden, where it will spread by rhizomes to form a small colony. 1 m. Hardy in Z 4.
