Alpine catchfly, Silene alpestris, is a useful rock garden or alpine perennial. It forms a low, trailing mound of deep green leaves, and bears star-shaped white flowers on short stems, over a long season. For best results grow Silene alpestris in gritty, well-drained soil that's not too dry. It's perfect for growing in rockeries and walls.
