Bouncing bet (Saponaria officinalis), also known as soapwort and lady by the garden gate, is a common weedy perennial from the carnation family (Caryophyllaceae). The plant is native to Europe but has been naturalized worldwide, where it is commonly thought of as a weed. Bouncing bet has pale pink to whitish 5-petal flowers, which grow in dense terminal clusters.
All parts of the plant contain saponins which can be mildly toxic if ingested by horses.
