Silene saxifraga
Currently this plant is unavailable. However, we may have it in the future, so please if you wish to be added to a wish list.

This is the campion family, with some tiny alpine cushion plants, and some larger herbaceous species. Most of the ones that we grow come from high in the mountains, but sizes are variable. They all have the characteristic five-petalled flowers, often with a distinctive and attractive striped and coloured calyx.

Silene saxifraga makes loose cushions of slender, bright green leaves, with short stems carrying many flowers with five divided petals, white but often pink on the reverse. It is native to mountains in the southern parts of Europe.
