This silene has very attractive unusually shaped red fringed flowers, and makes a lovely cottage garden plant . The flowers are produced abundantly over a long time. It makes a very good container plant, and also an excellent garden plant. It forms a low mat of leaves which spreads slowly, and from this mound the strange notched and fringed red flowers rise to approx 50cm.
