I'm not familiar with soap wort.

Interesting, but by "familiar", I mean a plant I've taken warm showers with.
Met in person, grown for a number of years, like pachysandra. I had it at my
previous house, in a spot where huge icicles formed in the winter. I'm
talking about 10 lb chunks of ice. They'd fall on the pachysandra. On warmer
days, water would drip all over the plants, and freeze at night, encasing
the plants in ice. I think they could put up with a stupid dog who didn't
know that plants aren't meant to be stomped on.
